Diren, Selection White 2022

Tasting Notes

It has a warm, beautiful golden appearance, with a yellow-and-blue-dominated taste profile, like Van Gogh’s masterpieces.

The primary variety is Narince, but Chardonnay rules the wine. Chardonnay is showing an extreme performance and a wide range of aromas on the palate. It gives tropical fruit aromas. I wondered this time because I found limestone and lemon notes like Chablis in Tokat :)

The legs seem fast and frequent, and it has low to medium body. There are no faults on the nose or palate.

Hazelnut, vanilla, golden apple, lemon, limestone and lily on the nose. Pineapple, muguet extract, butter and Easter bread were added to these aromas on the palate. The acidity is high, and the finish seems medium-plus.

If you drink this wine slowly, I have some bad news for you. You should drink it within a short time. This wine is losing its performance, and you cannot find these wonderful aromas anymore.

In the end, I could say that you should drink it now, but it has potential for ageing. I wonder how its nose will develop.
