Kuzubağ Narince Chardonnay 2024

16,90€ at Istanbul airport

Narince 43%, Chardonnay 57%. 

22% of the wine is matured for 7 months in French oak barrels.

A pale straw yellow in colour with green hues.

The bouquet shows delicate aromas of green apple, white peach, citrus peel and gun smoke.

Medium-bodied, crisp acidity and slightly creamy texture. A bit of bitterness.

On the palate, again apple, pear, citrus fruits and some hints of vanilla.

The finish displays freshness and minerality.

All in all it was  a pleasant wine that went well with a chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce. 

To be honest, among the 3 colours I’ve tasted, the white impressed me less. 8/10
