Legacy
A dry red wine with rich fruit and grape aromas. Fresh acidity is joined by a subtle herbal, spice-like character. Medium to full-bodied yet balanced, it brings together fruit, acidity, and a distinctive savory edge without feeling heavy.
Pairs well with grilled steak, roasted meats, and other savory meat dishes.
In the high altitude vineyards of Mesopotamia, long summers and cold northern winters slowly shape the grapes through an extended growing season. Harvested in late October, the fruit reflects a landscape defined by contrast, patience, and time. The name Legacy speaks to what SAWKA inherited through generations of family winemaking and to the responsibility of carrying that tradition forward, making the wine a reflection of where we come from and of what we continue to preserve.
Zahrira
Bright lime leads into crisp acidity, followed by the rounded sweetness of ripe peach. Its thick, supple texture balances zesty freshness with stone-fruit richness. A subtle dryness carries through the finish, leaving the palate clean and softly coated.
Pairs beautifully with grilled fish, shrimp, delicate white meats with herbs, creamy cheeses, Middle East mezze (hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh), fruit tarts, almond cake.
At first light, the mountains, trees, and rivers of northern Iraq are touched by soft yellow rays that seem to move gently across the landscape. Zahrira takes its name from the Syriac and Aramaic linguistic tradition, where the word is associated with rays of light. That familiar morning scene became the heart of the wine, capturing the quiet brightness of daybreak and the feeling of a new day beginning.
Daily
Freshly crushed grape aromas are joined by blackberry and blackcurrant. The palate opens with pronounced sweetness and a smooth, velvety texture. Gentle dryness gradually balances the richness, leading the wine toward a more composed and restrained finish.
This wine is versatile, making it perfect for sharing with friends, pairing with a special meal, or savoring quietly on its own.
Life rarely stays in one mood for long, and Daily was created around that simple truth. Its story follows the natural rhythm of ordinary life, beginning with sweetness and abundance before becoming quieter, more measured, and reflective. The name also reflects the belief that wine does not need to belong only to ceremonies or exceptional occasions, but can accompany the simple moments that gradually become part of our memories.
Onyx
A clean, fruit-forward bouquet with floral hints, cherry, and strawberry. On the palate, it is dry with medium acidity and tannins that provide structure while allowing the fruit to remain expressive. The balance carries into a long, satisfying finish.
Excellent with rich and hearty dishes, grilled meats, and long evening conversations.
After the heat and movement of the day, there comes a quieter hour when everything seems to settle. Onyx was shaped around that transition, drawing on the image of dark stone formed through fire and time. Its story is one of intensity giving way to calm, of strength expressed through composure, and of the stillness that arrives when the day finally releases its hold.
Alpha
Vivid aromas of freshly crushed black grapes and ripe berries give Alpha a bold character. Gently sour-forward flavors meet mellow sweetness, while a silky texture and refined tannins shape the palate. A subtle sour trace lingers into a clean finish.
Perfect with seasonal salads, grilled vegetables, red meats, and heavy cheese on winter nights.
Among the vineyards, one stood apart, its vines thriving with unusual strength and producing grapes that were especially dark and vibrant. That sense of individuality gave rise to Alpha, whose name draws from the image of the wolf as a symbol of confidence, independence, and composed strength. The wine became a tribute to resilience, distinction, and the quiet assurance of something capable of standing on its own.
Embrace
Bright aromas of freshly crushed black grapes and wild berries lead into a mellow, fruit-forward palate. Its silky, mouth-filling texture feels smooth without becoming heavy. Soft tannins and lingering sweetness add depth to the finish.
Pairs beautifully with light meals, salads, soft cheeses, grilled seafood, or simply a peaceful afternoon.
There was a time when something as simple as an embrace suddenly felt precious again. After a period marked by distance and uncertainty, closeness carried a renewed sense of warmth and meaning. Embrace grew from that experience, becoming a reflection on reunion, resilience, and the comfort of sharing space with the people around us.
Rose Charm
Delicate aromas of ripe strawberry and tart raspberry are joined by gentle floral notes. Bright and fresh on the palate, it carries a crisp character into a clean aftertaste. Subtle minerality and citrus zest add freshness to the finish.
Ideal for pairing with light summer dishes, seafood, fresh salads, and mild cheeses.
In 2020, when familiar routines were disrupted and uncertainty touched almost every part of daily life, continuing to create became meaningful in itself. Rose Charm emerged from that period with a lighter and more hopeful spirit. Its story is one of persistence, creativity, and the idea that even difficult years can still give rise to something joyful.
