Points : 6,5/10 Price : 55 TL Chamlija Mavrud 2016 : chamlija’s family comes from Bulgaria. So this is no surprise that they decided to use the Bulgarian Mavrud grapevine to do this fruity, easy drinking wine. Well, in fact, it doesn’t mean this wine is simple. But let’s go back to the history of…

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”).

Chamlija Viognier 2015
Points : 8/10 Price : the 2016 costs around 75 TL Chamlija… yes, again. It’s not my fault if they do very interesting wines! For example this Viognier. I’ve never been a big fan of this grape. I’ve never really appreciated the French Condrieu, never understood it. It’s only in New Zealand that my interest…
