Points : 6/10 Price : Around 75 TL Turasan Seneler Chardonnay 2015 : I love Turasan Seneler red wine série but this Chardonnay is not exactly on the same level. The first impression is nice with a quite aromatic nose : white flowers, peanuts and brioche. In the mouth it doesn’t lack flavours either. It…
Umurbey Blush 2016 Shiraz
Points : 5,5/10 Price : Around 65 TL Umurbey Blush Shiraz 2016 : if Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favourite Sauvignon Blanc in Turkey, this rosé is a big disappointment. Not very aromatic, a kind of semi-sweet rosé wine with quite boring red fruit flavours. Not much acidity and a short finish. I…

Sevilen Plato 2016 Syrah Öküzgözü
Points : 7/10 Price : Around 80 TL Plato Sevilen 2016 Syrah Öküzgözü : Sevilen really is a nice winery. They’re good at making good affordable wines like this one. The nose is quite aromatic. You can smell red fruits like cherry and raspberry. Then once in the mouth plum comes out with other very…
Kocabağ Leo’s 2014 Öküzgözü
Points : 7,5/10 Price : 110 TL Kocabağ Leo’s 2014 (Öküzgözü, Cabernet Sauvignon, Boğazdere): Kocabağ is a Turkish winery situated in the magnificent region called Cappadocia. Leo’s is their high end production made of a blend of 2 local grapes (Öküzgözü and Boğazdere) and Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine needs to open itself otherwise you could…
