This document reviews two white wines from Turkey - a Thrace white wine and a Chamlja Chardonnay. The Thrace white has an intense golden color with aromas of toasted bread, vanilla, and stone fruits. It has a well-structured palate with toasted flavors and good weight and length. The Chamlja Chardonnay has a medium straw color with nutty and buttery notes reminiscent of Chardonnay along with ripe citrus and almonds. It has a dense fruit palate with structure, a hint of bitterness, and a refreshing long finish. Both wines were well made.
