Points : 8,5/10 Price : Around 85 TL Pamukkale Nodus Fumé Blanc 2016 : the name “Fumé Blanc” is the other name (a marketing coup) for Sauvignon Blanc and was invented in the late 60’s by the (in)famous Robert Mondavi.

Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Points : 8/10 Price : Around 85 TL Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc 2016 : it’s like a gourmandise! Exotic and rich, flavourful and generous! Aromas of peach, lemon and lichee take possession of your palate and stay for quite long in your mouth. Good with some Mediterranean salad or a sea bass with rosemary. But I…
