Selection Boğazkere Öküzgözü £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP Balanced and elegant red wine blend of those same native Anatolian grapes mentioned before. Not too much varieties in Turkey indeed. Well defined, juicy tannins, pleasant acidity and notes of dried red fruits, mocha and sweet spices. Matches perfectly with red meat dishes, steaks, grills, spicy sauced spaghetti and hard cheeses. Vegetarians I am sorry…	Pendore Syrah £ 20,00 ~~£ 20,00~~ 20.0 GBP An intensely rich and complex Aegean Syrah with dark red fruit, black olive and violet aromas on the nose continuing to a palate full of earthy notes, coffee, dark chocolate, cigar, sweet spices and ripe dark fruits. A top of the range, award winning Turkish red wine which can be enjoyed alone or matched with spicy sauced red meat, game, casseroles and native hard cheeses.	Sui Generis Nevi Şahsına Münhasır 2018 £ 34,00 ~~£ 34,00~~ 34.0 GBP Bold yet not intrusive, chocolaty but not sweet, intense yet not overwhelming. They say the balance is the key to a good wine and that one proves it. Milk chocolate, red fruits, dark berries, mint, violate and some gentle spiciness all orchestrated by the fine tannins and excellent acidity. The label itself is also a piece of art, its story to be told on the producers page. The Thracian terroir is really unique, it was one of the Romans favourites and Spartacus was born there. The man himself - Çamlıca, is a ‘sui generis’ personality too. But the wine itself will tell you that story much better…
Kara Sevda Papaskarası £ 20,00 ~~£ 20,00~~ 20.0 GBP An elegant, modern style red wine with just the right amount of fruitiness, acidity and tannins to make it acceptable for a wide audience of wine lovers. Perhaps this attempt of revitalising the past glory of that interesting grape, Papaskarası once being the favourite of Istanbul tavernas, is the producers most valuable contribution to the Turkish and World wine scene.	Artı Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot 2018 £ 18,00 ~~£ 18,00~~ 18.0 GBP Deep ruby colour, aromas of dark fruits and green pepper on the nose evolving to a round and velvety palate full of plum, tobacco and dark chocolate notes. A wine of outstanding value and finesse.	Kavaklidere 1929 (2013) £ 25,00 ~~£ 25,00~~ 25.0 GBP A complex and structured top of the range Cabernet Franc, deep red violet in the glass, aromas of blackberry, liquorice and lavender. The tannins still come in strong but recede within moments, revealing flavours of dark plum, blackberry, baking spices and chocolate. A note of bright cranberry near the finish is followed by mouth-drying tannins that linger with a touch of spice. The tertiary aromas as leather and forest floor are present yet not dominating. A fine wine which ages very well and continues its exciting journey through the years.
KAV Boğazkere Öküzgözü £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP An immaculate wine, blend of the robust, tannic and structured Boğazkere and the fruity, fragrant and crisp Öküzgözü grapes all coming from Eastern Anatolia – the birth place of Vitis Vinifera! Balanced, structured with perfectly integrated tannins, subtle oak notes, sweet spices, dark red fruits, chocolate, hay and leather on the palate.	Sarafin Cabernet Sauvignon £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP Deep aromas of blackberries, plum, and dark chocolate run all over your nose, ringing the bell that you are tasting a full flavoured and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon. Palate is rich with abundance of black berries, leather, cassis and chocolate. The tannins are well present yet not intrusive and maintain a friendly presence.	Egeo Blend 2017 £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP Charming Bordeaux colour with ruby tints. Dark fruits and spice, hint of black olive, eucalyptus, chocolate and thyme. Mature tannins with a long finish, full-body and rich flavours.
Egeo Syrah 2019 £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP Lush, dense and absolutely delicious Syrah with palate bursting of Kalamata olives, chocolate, sweet spices and dried red fruit notes. Full bodied, long with rounded, velvety tannins that perfectly reflect the warm Mediterranean terroir.	Ancyra Öküzgözü £ 9,00 ~~£ 9,00~~ 9.0 GBP A delicious, juicy red wine with an attractive bright purple color. Mellow flavors of blackberry, plum and various red fruits with a good overall balance, nice acidity and soft, pleasing tannins. You may well code it as the Turkish Merlot. One of the classic red indigenous Anatolian varieties that become a Turkish blend standard together with the more muscular and structured Boğazkere. A grape with huge potential not fully realized yet, this wine is a good starting point.	Ancyra Kalecik Karası £ 9,00 ~~£ 9,00~~ 9.0 GBP Light, breezy, apple candy, fresh cherries and some mild spaces both onthe nose and on the palate. Perfect food companion and conversation starter. From Kalecik, Ankara – arguably the capital of Turkey.
Diamond Syrah Öküzgözü £ 9,00 ~~£ 9,00~~ 9.0 GBP This is a casual, Turkish red blend, perhaps not as original as its white sister but still a decent, drinkable wine with good grip, young tannins, nice body, redish fruits and spice dominating the palate with a nice finish	Rose di Strandja £ 15,00 ~~£ 15,00~~ 15.0 GBP A beautiful, stylish Provence style Rose from Turkeys most interesting, unconventional ‘new age’ wine producer; Çamlıca or Chamlija. Rose petals, light strawberries and some sweet spices too light, yet structured palate, decent length and acidity. A perfect hot summer day companion! Stop the global warming! Well who cares but I had to say it…	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.	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.
Ancyra 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 £ 10,00 ~~£ 10,00~~ 10.0 GBP This typical, warm climate Sav Blanc may not be as posh and expressive and expensive as your beloved Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but it has enough vigour and freshness to make your day (or night depending on your starting hour) Typical green notes, Mediterranean heat, tropical fruits and other citrusy wonders. 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 £ 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 £ 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 £ 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)
