Chamlija Chardonnay Thracian 2020

9,25/10
Purchased last summer at the airport in İstanbul for 60€
The wonderful Thracian series.
Grapes from a low yielding single vineyard on the outskirts of Strandja terroir.
Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels.
Bright and pale golden colour.
Tight and nimble up front, opens to complex aromas with hints of citrus, exotic fruits, vanilla and almonds.
Racy freshness.
Slightly oily with beautiful balance and fruity flavours.
Great minerality leading to a lengthy, saline finish.
Great tension. A wine you can keep at least 10 years in your cellar. It will grow in complexity.
Perfect with fatty fish or organic poultry.
