Let me present you my two favourite Turkish sparkling wines! Christmas is near and New Year’s Eve is coming fast. And you don’t want to spend a fortune in french champagnes all starting above 400/500 TL and more per bottle. My two favourite are Vinkara “Yaşasın” (meaning “Long Live” or “Hurray!” in Turkish) and Suvla…

Suvla Misket Narince 2018
Points : 7,5/10 Price : 54 TL at Suvla boutique, Cihangir. Honeysuckle, orange blossom, yellow pear, mango on the nose. Slightly mineral, medium high acidity. Reminds me predominantly of a Muscat, much more than Narince. Green apple, pineapple, fresh grapes, honey and lychee. Very pleasant and elegant wine. Perfect as an aperitif or with a…
Suvla Agiorgitiko 2018
Points : 8/10 Price : 89 TL at the Suvla boutique in Cihangir This is the first Turkish version of a famous red Greek grape called “Agiorgitiko” (right prononciation is “Ayoryitiko”), a versatile grape which can be whatever the winemaker wants it to be. This first production is not big so run to a Suvla…
Suvla Karasakız 2018
Points : 7,5/10 Price : 32 TL (50 cl) The pale ruby colour is typical of this grape. I love that grape. The Karasakız blush made by Suvla is my favourite by the way. On the nose : Floral and (red) fruity aromas and spices with notes of smashed cherries, red prune, thyme and rosemary….
Suvla Viognier 2018
Points : 7/10 Price : 59TL Suvla is launching a new vintage of Viognier. The 2018 has a floral, tangerine and exotic nose. Nothing exuberant. Not extremely weighty, it’s a medium bodied wine. On the palate, you will notice flavours of fleshy stone fruits (peach and apricot), honeysuckle, roasted peanuts and mango for the exotic…
Suvla Boğazkere Öküzgözü 2017
Points : 7/10 Price : 32 TL (50cl) I’ve been always heading to the upper series of Suvla until now but the usual Suvla (not Reserve or Grand Reserve) actually are very decent if you’re on a budget. Hence this one : On the nose, dried fruits, pine forest, red fruits (sweet cherry, red currant,…
