Chamlija Kara Sevda 2018

Crafted from Papaskarasi, Turkey's most ancient grape variety, this wine offers a delightful balance. It boasts a light to medium body, rounded tannins, and an aromatic bouquet of spices and lush fruit.

Named "Kara Sevda," or "Blind Love," this red Turkish wine pays tribute to its grape, Papskarasi, which translates to "the priest's black." The grape lends the wine a medium-deep ruby hue and a potent aroma tinged with smoky nuances, sweet red fruits, and hints of dry spices and tobacco. Its medium body, youthful texture, and restrained tannins complement the dominant red fruit flavors. Notes of pepper, liquorice, and a refreshing acidity add depth, leading to an enduring finish. The fragrance carries a subtle floral touch with herbal nuances, thanks to the fermentation of 100% whole bunches. With its intricate composition, formidable structure, medium heft, and gentle tannins, this wine pairs exquisitely with spicy dishes.
