Cankaya Kavaklidere 2023
Wine type: White blend
Region: Anatolia, Turkey (Ankara/Kavaklıdere)
Grape varieties: 35% Narince, 35% Emir, 30% Sultana
Vintage: 2023
ABV: ~12.5%
Appearance: Pale straw with faint green highlights.
Nose: Bright citrus (lemon zest, lime) up front, complemented by white blossom and a hint of green apple. Subtle herbal notes and a whisper of minerality add complexity.
Palate: Light to medium-bodied, crisp acidity carries flavors of lemon curd, green pear, and underripe white peach. A touch of honeyed texture appears mid-palate without losing freshness. Finishes clean with a mineral-tinged, slightly saline aftertaste.
Food pairings: Excellent with fresh cheeses (goat cheese, young chèvre), seafood (grilled sardines, shrimp), light salads with citrus vinaigrette, mezze (hummus, ezme), and mild, herb-forward poultry dishes. Also works well as an aperitif.
Serving temperature: 46–52°F (8–11°C)
Storage and drinking window: Drink now through 2026 for best freshness. Store in a cool, dark place and serve well chilled.
