Points : 8,5/10 Price : 114 TL at Macro Center I really loved that blend of Narince and Chardonnay. The nose is quite aromatic with strong aromas of citrus, especially lime and orange, stone fruits like nectarine and yellow apple, acacia and some toasted and buttery notes.

Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Points : 8,5/10 Price : 100 TL at Milano Gurme This wonderful Turkish Sauvignon Blanc seems about the same as the 2016 Vintage.

Points : 7,5/10 Price : 114 TL Narince 55% Viognier 45% Hmmm what an aromatic nose! It’s incredible : you can detect quince at once and then white flowers of course, fruit blossom and some hints of green apple. Very pleasant! On the palate it’s round and creamy and at the same time you can…

When I found this bottle at Suvla boutique in Kanyon, I realised how lucky I was as it is almost impossible to…
Turasan Emir 2016
Points : 7/10 Price : 91 TL at Suvla boutique in Emaar Square AVM. A bit of a rip off as this wine usually costs much less… This very pleasant white wine grows on high altitude on volcanic soils in Cappadocia and it shows in its strong mineral notes. Turasan Winery is very famous for…
