Pasaeli Yapincak `Meseli`

Yapıncak comes from a single 30-year-old vineyard in Yayaköy. Cool and rainy winters and warm summers are characteristic of the climate, with an average temperature of 28°C and 24°C in the months of August and September respectively. The soil is a mix of gravel and sand with a good drainage. The vines are head-trained and conventional farming procedures are applied.

The grapes were pressed as whole clusters. It is fermented partially in stainless steel tank and partially in 225-liter French oak barrels at 18°C, then aged on lees for 5 months. Both parts were kept on their fine lees for 3 months and stirred once a week to add complexity to the wine.

Pale gold color; the nose is aromatic with rich notes of vanilla, cream as well as citrus, ripe pear, with a mineral-chalky and herbal character. Bright, crisp, and elegant in the mouth with a pleasant acidity. Long, textured and fresh finish to a remarkable rarity.
