KAV Narince 2019

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.
