Points : 8,5/10 Price : 80 TL at Vinus, La Cave, Carrefour Gourmet, Macro Center… easy to find! Kastro Tireli is a winery located in Manisa Province, Aegean region. That’s another new winery for me.

Barbare Rosé 2015 Merlot Syrah
Points : 6,5/10 Price : Around 50/60 TL Barbare rosé 2015 Merlot Syrah : A quite decent rosé by Barbare winery. This blend of Merlot and Syrah is made of organic grapes. Yes, you guessed it.
