Points : 9/10 Price : 122 TL at Dekante but found 70 TL in a small shop in Arnavutköy!!! Zinfandel wines have a hard time with me as I’m not big fan of this grape. But Karnas winery already impressed me with its beautiful Syrah so I decided to give it a try. It’s important…
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…

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,…

Yanık Ülke Cataratto 2017
Points : 7,5/10 Price : 40 TL at Carrefour super… an incredible price for such an agreeable wine! Catarratto (or Cataratto as wrotten on this bottle…) is a classic white grape variety from Sicily. It’s not the first Sicilian variety grown by Yanık Ülke. There is also a nice Nerello Mascalese I’ve already talked about….
Kocabağ Kalecik Karası 2016
Points : 8/10 Price : Bought 100 TL in a small Tekel but the 2017 costs 87 TL at Macro Center On the nose it’s more red fruits at first. Then the second nose adds some very nice aromas of banana and sweet spices. This Kalecik Karası is fresh and lively with a medium bodied…
