Points : 9/10 Price : 160 TL at Macro center but 125 TL at the winery This is not by coincidence that I chose the personnage with a moustache on that bottle as my logo. This Bordeaux blend made of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is one of my favourite Turkish red wines. The…

Chamlija Blanc de Noirs Papaskarası 2017
Points : 7,5/10 Price : 55 TL Chamlija Papaskarasi Blanc de noirs 2017 : Again a fantastic wine created by Chamlija winery!
