Points : 8,5/10 Price : Around 85 TL Pamukkale Nodus Fumé Blanc 2016 : the name “Fumé Blanc” is the other name (a marketing coup) for Sauvignon Blanc and was invented in the late 60’s by the (in)famous Robert Mondavi. Anyway this Fumé Blanc has some remarkable qualities that are not typical for this kind…

Suvla Reserve 2015 Kınalı Yapıncak
Points : 8/10 Price : Around 120 TL Suvla Reserve Kınalı Yapıncak 2015 : I really enjoyed this wine, especially as an aperitif. Its buttery taste will pair perfectly with a fatty fish. The nose has delicate exotic fruit aromas but once in the mouth it’s a festival of yellow apple, pear and acacia flavours….

Kayra İmperial 2013 Öküzgözü
Points : 9/10 Price : 350 TL Kayra İmperial Öküzgözü 2013 : A beautiful wine I had the pleasure to drink with Andrea Lemieux today. Öküzgözü is one of my favourite Turkish grapevine and Kayra seems to be the best winery to produce it. I had already loved their Kayra Versus Alpagut Öküzgözü. Now this…
CHAMLIJA FELIX CULPA 2014 Pinot Noir
Points : 7,5/10 price : 90 TL Chamlija Felix Culpa “Mutlu hata” Pinot Noir 2014 : when mistakes do great things (Latin Felix Culpa and Turkish Mutlu Hata both mean “happy mistake”). As a matter of fact, Chamlija has another Pinot Noir. Still this one has something special. This is the result of an experiment…
