Description

Explore a hidden gem of Turkish wine making with Chamlija Kara Sevda Papaskarasi 2023, made from the ancient and rare Papaskarasi grape, indigenous to the Thrace region. This elegant red wine showcases vibrant red berry fruit, floral notes and subtle spice, with a silky texture and refine acidity. Unlike heavier reds, Papaskarasi is known for its freshness, finesse, and aromatic profile, making it ideal for those who enjoy Pinot Noir or cool-climate reds. A rare find from Turkey's star Chamlija. This vintage highlights their passion for reviving forgotten native grapes. Kara Sevda, ('blind love'), is the perfect name for this wine - soulful, expressive and unforgettable.

Hand-harvested from the vineyards at the skirts of the Istranca Mountains in Kirklareli region in the European side of Turkey. Aged in French and Hungarian old oak barrels on its fine lees for 17 months. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
