Suvla Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 — Gallipoli Peninsula
Produced by family-owned Suvla on Türkiye’s historic Gallipoli Peninsula, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a mature Turkish red showing the character of the region alongside a familiar international grape variety.
Deep purple to ruby in colour, the wine shows dark berry and cherry fruit, with notes of spice and pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, generous fruit and a lingering finish.
