@galiwines balances on the #Gallipoli straits with the Aegean on one side and the Marmara on the other. Gali’s vineyards once again teach us that terroir knows no national limits. The land here (after analysis) is closer to #bordeaux pomerol than it is a #kayseri terroir. Gali wines do not nor will ever try to ‘mimic’ French wines. While they are making wonderful #merlot #cabernet , Gali manages to be true to the land and true to the land’s rich cultural history. In fact I’m 2015, they dedicated a series to the centennial anniversary of the #gallipoliwar . After getting lost in and around several military bases on the peninsula (and making a couple of friends on the way), we sat down with Nilgün hanim - one half of the wife-husband team running the show. Tekrar zamanınız (ama Harika şaraplarınız yarattığınız ve paylaştığınız) çok teşekkürler! . . . @parmieuxwineadventures @nilgunkavur @galiwines #galiwine #çanakkale #evreshe #vineyard #şarap #türkşarapları #turkishwine #winesofturkey #wine #winetasting #gelibolu #kavurbağları #winesofinstagram #redwine #lateharvest #turkishwinematters
@akerwine started producing in 1923 after they were forced to leave their native Thessaloniki and settled in #mürefte . The family found work in the many abandoned fields and took on the some of the vacant vineyards. Nearly a century later, the winery produces some 10 varietals - including a #gamay that is just as old as the winery. Aker separates itself from so many #wineries because of its longstanding experience with the #winemaking process and the land. And Except for their exports, everything they do is local. The are a Mürefte winery. Mesut bey refers to his operation as a museum of Mürefte. Walls of the #winery are lined with Greek and Ottoman bricks, hanging field tools, ancient wine presses and machines, objects, paintings, clay vases from the sea, framed #football labels, and so much more. We made a surprise visit bright and early in the morning. After 5 great different conversations with Mesut bey and his son Mustafa, a tour of Aker’s cabinet of curiosities, a full tasting, and a full car of wine, we were on the road happy as clams. Thank you to the entire Aker family for speaking with and taking the time out of your that very busy day! . . . @akerwine @parmieuxwineadventures #istanbites #mürefte #şarköy #şarap #türkşaraları #discoverwine #turkishwine #winesofturkey #wine #localwine #regionalwine #akersarap #wineenthusiast #winetasting #vineyard #natural #traditionalwine #turkishwinematters
