2017. Not bitter. Has some oxidative, and awfully compelling they are, qualities. Toasted nuts. Goes down really easily.

The ratings here are harsh. But, they are all older vintages. The 16' is pretty well balanced and is still nice on day 4. Not only is this a learning experience but it's really pleasant.

Vintage 2016 some flowers, high acidity. Bitters in aftertaste.

Everyone's right: it's a lot like a Chardonnay. Reach higher, Turkish winemakers.

Very good and versatile wine, similar to Vermentino. @VinkaraWines @PCorkscrew #TurkishWine #Narince

Apricot and tropical fruit, slight heat on the finish and severely lacking in acidity, could benefit from earlier picking maybe? 2012 vintage.

Still rock in' it. Lovely juice with solid purity, lovely wheatiness, touch of yellow grapefruit and spice rack dust.
