Indigenous Turkish grape. Distributed into Australia by Opal Wine. Under DIAM cork.

Suvla Wines, Kinali Yapincak, Gallipoli Peninsula, 2015

Crisp yet turning stone fruit, fresh grass root (just pulled from the ground), Danish pastry, roast nuts and turmeric like spice. Juicy and refreshingly different. It has a wholesome, earthy presence with a spring time fruit highlight and joyous balance. Certainly a wine to enjoy now, but I think it would develop into a seriously interesting, honeyed wonder.

RRP: approx $28
Alc: 13%
