400 lira. It’s always exciting to taste a new grape. Tilki Kuyruğu is a white grape but the one grown in Elmalı is black. The name means “Fox tail” because of the firm of the bunch. I really liked this rosé made by Likya winery. It has a nice dark salmon colour. It’s very aromatic…

Likya Narince 2019
Points : 8,25/10 Price : 105 TL at Mensis Mahzen My first Narince made by Likya Vineyards. The grapes are grown at an altitude of 1,100 metres.
