Points : 8/10 Price : 80 TL I hadn’t had a Kalecik Karası for quite a while and had almost forgot its taste. Some say it’s similar to a Pinot Noir. That’s not my opinion but it’s certainly a local that is worth your attention. This one needs some time to open itself and deliver…

Just some words to express what I…

Points : 8/10 Price : 90 TL This 2016 vintage is classy and elegant as a Viognier should be. The nose has white flower, apricot, quince and bergamot aromas. It doesn’t show its potential at once so make sure to drink it not too cold. Even if the amount of alcohol is high, 14,5%, you…
