Blanc de Noir Papaskarasi
£ 15.00 £ 15.00 15.0 GBP
Blanc de Noirs is nothing new if you are into Champagne or better quality fizzy stuff but it is something when a still wine is conceived via this method and that one is well madeint. Intense, fruity, subtle minerality on the nose, almost electrifying on the palate, grippy with an unrestrained sweetness that battles with the high acidity and obviously inherited tannins. A good value and rare find, give it a try and let us know what you think…
Selection Emir Narince
£ 15.00 £ 15.00 15.0 GBP
A gorgeous blend of two unique local varieties, Emir and Narince. Intense, creamy and full bodied with distinguishing white lily, orange and apricot notes. A must have with any white meat dish or salad.
Kavaklidere Misket
£ 12.00 £ 12.00 12.0 GBP
You are at the right spot if you like floral perfumes, jasmine, linden, nectarine and white peaches (well those last two can be the same thing, it’s so confusing) This peculiar and beautiful wine will give you exactly those sensations on the nose and the palette too and, of course, an instant, mellow high. Expect a burst of white flower aromas, all kind of peaches, mango, nectarine and some other intriguing notes which I will leave for you and your olfactory fantasy to decide. All this orchestra of flavours is accompanied by a highly talented conductor with the strange name High Acidity. An original, versatile and funny wine.
DLC Sultaniye Emir
£ 9.00 £ 9.00 9.0 GBP
Aromatic, crisp, smooth dry wine, acquiring its pleasant aromas from fruity, sugary Sultaniye grapes and its structure and acidity from the renowned Cappadocian Emir. A classic Turkish blend with lots of grape, lime and tropicals on the nose and even more on the palate yet crisp enough to carry your wish for yet another glass. Perfect pair for sea food, pastas with various sauces, fresh cheese, chicken and sushi.

DLC Sauvignon Blanc

Easy and breezy…
Ancyra Narince
£ 9.00 £ 9.00 9.0 GBP
Yet another Narince, this time from a different bigish producer. An intense and elegant wine with citrus and stony fruit aromas on the nose, defined quince, sweet apple and floral flavours overall complemented by the lively acidity and a long, pleasant aftertaste.
KAV Narince 2019
£ 15.00 £ 15.00 15.0 GBP
Narince is the grape, one of the most promising Anatolian varieties and Narin means delicate or fragile in Turkish (or something in between) and although the grape itself isn’t that fragile this particular wine is both gentle and structured justifying the grapes’ name being also refreshing and complex enough to surprise you and carry on with heavier foods.

Pale yellow colour, almost watery, which is strange looking at the excellent nose and muscular palate. Beautiful minerality on the nose, wet stones, hint of linden, Kirkagac melon, white nectarine and a touch of hay perhaps. The palate again is a gorgeous mix of white stone fruits, summer flowers, citrus and quince. Opulent, complex, full bodied and rather long.
DLC Narince 2020
£ 10.00 £ 10.00 10.0 GBP
Decent, balanced wine with some flowers and white fruit notes both on the nose and the palate, good acidity and length for that price. Original, local grape transformed into wine in the best possible way. More on the grape in the text of the bigger sister KAV.
That one is on the sweeter side of the dryness spectrum, you may call it fruiter but Turkish wines in general tend to have more residual sugar than announced. This doesn’t spoil the taste and even adds a character, depending on the wine of course, but if you are after a bone dry wine look elsewhere.
Diamond Sultaniye 2021
£ 8.00 £ 8.00 8.0 GBP
An exceptionally fresh, balanced and drinkable white made of indigenous Sultana grapes which you perhaps have eaten a lot but rarely (or perhaps never) tried as wine. So here is a great opportunity!

Wine Style: Refreshing, easy drinking and juicy white wine with low ABV and balanced structure.

Nose: Mineral water, wet stones, rainy day, freshness with enough grapes, citrus and some flower aromas, perhaps some wet white stone fruits too. Tasting notes are fun to read isn’t it, but don’t take them too seriously, trust your palate.

Palate: Balanced, refreshing with surprisingly high acidity and length to carry on with most of the food on the table.

Drink: Well chilled, 5 degrees. (summer time keep in the ice bucket)
