£13.13

wine_review_banner

Up front this has plenty of cherry and red berry fruit, followed by rich
notes of plums and dark chocolate. The soft tannins so typical of this
grape variety are present on the mid-palate and the finish is lifted by a
fresh acidity and a touch of spice.

Producer

The Sevilen winery was founded by Bulgarian immigrant Isa Güner in
1942, who convinced by Turkey’s potential for producing quality wines,
purchased four hectares of land in Izmir and began planting vineyards.
His passion for the land led him to name his fledgling business Sevilen,
meaning ‘Beloved’. Expansion took a step change under his sons,
Gökhan and Coflkun, who joined the business in 1958, growing the
holdings to 50 hectares. Now run by the third generation of the Güner
family, Sevilen own a total of 160 hectares of vineyards and demonstrate
a level of ambition that has positioned them as one of Turkey’s most
significant high-quality wine producers.

Vineyard

The grapes come from vineyards in Güney at an altitude of between
700 and 900 metres above sea level. The vines have an average age of
twenty-five years and are planted on a mix of limestone, alluvial loam and
mudstone clay.The grapes were harvested by hand.

Winery

The grapes underwent fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at 23-25°C,
with fifteen days’ maceration on the skins. After fermentation, 20% of the
wine underwent a period of ageing in 300-litre, medium toast, French
oak barrels.
