This document lists numerous awards and distinctions received by Alpha Estate, a winery located in Greece, for several of its wines in 2008. The wines that received awards include Alpha Estate Red 2005, Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Alpha One 2004, Xinomavro 2005, and Syrah 2005. The awards came from prestigious international wine competitions and guides such as Decanter World Wine Awards, International Wine Challenge, International Wine & Spirits Competition, Les Citadelles du Vin, and Syrah du Monde.
This study examined the protective effects of thiols like glutathione and N-acetyl-cysteine on wine aroma volatiles. The study found that these thiols were able to protect the aroma compounds of white and red wines from oxidative spoilage due to their free sulfhydryl (-SH) group. Specifically, adding glutathione or N-acetyl-cysteine to Muscat and Xinomavro wines helped retain their characteristic aromas for longer periods of storage compared to wines without these thiols added. The protective effect was attributed to the free sulfhydryl group present in these thiols.
Gdd for flowering verasion new model van leeuwenMustafa Çamlica
This document presents a new phenology model called the Grapevine Flowering Veraison Model (GFV) to characterize the timing of flowering and ripening (veraison) of Vitis vinifera L. The GFV was tested on over 4,000 phenology observations across Europe and performed better than existing models. It uses a simple thermal time summation approach starting on March 1st with a base temperature of 0°C. The GFV provides an easy to use and accurate tool for predicting grapevine development timing and classifying varieties by precocity.

CHAMLIJA WINS AWC VIENNA 2018 as the BEST NATIONAL PRODUCER OF THE YEAR for ...Mustafa Çamlica
Chamlija wins AWC Vienna 2018 as the BEST NATIONAL PRODUCER OF THE YEAR for Türkei! Chamlija also awarded 3 star (top) winery title in the competition. This year only 20 wineries have won 3 star winery title and Chamlija was the only one for Turkey and Balkans including Hungary.Morever, Chamlija becomes first ever Turkish winery winning 7 Gold Medals in total in AWC Vienna history. All 7 Gold medals awarded for wines made of red Bordeaux varietals or its blends. This result clearly shows that Strandja is one of the greatest terroir for Bordeaux varietals. Kudos to Chamlija team.
The document summarizes information about the Papaskarasi grape variety, including:
- It originates from Turkey and the Balkans and grows well in sunny, rocky slopes in Thrace.
- It is a moderately vigorous vine that produces medium-sized, elongated bunches with tight, rounded berries weighing 300-400 grams.
- The skin is bluish black and the juice is colorless. It is quite resistant to diseases.
- Our observations found it buds later and ripens later than Cabernet Sauvignon, doing best in poor soils where bunches are smaller.
The document summarizes the results of a blind tasting competition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. It notes that while some countries produced lackluster wines, the US and Australia generally made high quality examples. Within the tasting, Merlot performed better than expected, with tasty, balanced wines found from Washington State, Friuli, and Chile. For Cabernet Sauvignon, judges found problems like overripeness, underripeness, leaness and excessive oak in some New World wines. The best wines avoided such flaws and showed Cabernet's potential when made well.
This document provides information about wines that were selected for inclusion in the 2017 guide "5 Star Wines - The Book 2017". It lists various award winning wineries and wines, including specifics about the winery, wine, and score received. The wines are from Italy and other countries and regions like South Africa, China, Canada, and France. The list is in descending order based on scores of 90 or higher out of 100 points.
This wine from Turkey has a pale straw color with a green hue, indicating its youth. On the nose, it has a pure, slightly mineral aroma with hints of fresh citrus like lime and a herbal note of chamomile. On the palate, it is very crisp and restrained with good acidity, flavors of green apple, barely ripe melon, lemon, and lime zest, and a mineral quality and almond note on the finish. This fresh and youthful wine would pair well with seafood and has the potential to age for 5-8 years.
Andreas Larsson reviews a 2014 Thracian wine from Chamlja in Turkey. He describes its pale straw color with a green tinge. On the nose, it displays barely ripe fruit such as lemon zest, lime, melon and pear alongside herbs and almonds. In the mouth, it has medium weight but good grip with refreshing acidity and zesty, youthful fruit flavors. It has a tight and restrained style that should develop nicely over the coming years, with a long, lingering mineral finish.
This wine from Thrace, Turkey has a youthful ruby red color with an opaque core. On the nose, it has intense dark fruit aromas of cassis and plum with hints of roasted oak, smoke, and coffee. In the mouth, it is dense and tightly structured with ripe, integrated tannins and flavors of cassis, plum, and dried herbs that linger. Though tight currently due to its youth, it has potential to age well for 10 years as the tannins soften and the wine opens up, resulting in a modern style.
The document discusses Papaskarası, an indigenous grape variety grown in Turkey. It is well-suited to the climate and soils of the Strandja Massif region, where it produces deeply colored wines when grown in cooler areas. The grape has high juice yields but is sensitive to heat, requiring moderate temperatures after ripening begins to fully develop anthocyanins. Chamlija produces a blend of 85% Papaskarası, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Sauvignon Blanc with 12.5% alcohol.
This document summarizes two different wines:
1) A wine from Turkey with a high color intensity, notes of earth, smoke, and black truffle on the nose along with dark fruit flavors like cassis and plum. It has good weight and density balanced by fresh acidity and fine oak.
2) A wine from Thrace, Turkey called Chamlıja Nev'i Şşashina Mühasur 2013, which the summarizer rated 91/100.
This wine summary provides tasting notes for a Merlot from Thrace, Turkey from 2013:
The wine has an inky, dense color with colored legs. On the nose, it has intense dark fruit aromas of cassis, dark plum, leather, and roasted wood. In the mouth, it is very dense and concentrated with tannins that are present but young. The oak is nicely integrated. It has a long finish with unctuous dark fruit flavors of cassis and dark cherry. The sommelier recommends cellaring this wine for 1-2 more years for it to open up more before drinking.
The Camlica family has been farming in Turkey since 1936, growing the Papaskarasi grape variety. Mustafa Camlica established Chamlija Wines in Buyukkarıstıran, Turkey to produce wine from the region's Papaskarasi grapes. Papaskarasi is a blue-black skinned grape indigenous to Turkey and Greece that Chamlija grows across its 85 hectares of vineyards in the fertile Strandja Massif region.

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.

The Thrace - White has an aromatic nose with toasted flavors, vanilla and floral notes. On the palate it is opulent with toasted flavors, vanilla from the oak, mild spices and juicy fruit, having good weight and length. The Chamlja Viognier has a medium deep straw color with a floral nose containing some new oak, roasted nuts, pineapple and apricot.

The document summarizes the state of the U.S. wine market from a UC Davis perspective. It notes that the U.S. is the largest wine consuming country but lags in per capita consumption compared to others. California dominates U.S. wine production, supplying 61% of the domestic market. Most wine sold is inexpensive, with 57% retailing under $7 per bottle. The document also examines wine grape production in California's San Joaquin Valley and competition with almonds, finding winegrapes currently less profitable but with potential for increased international demand. It predicts a 45% increase in U.S. wine volume by 2030, requiring 500,000 more tons of grapes primarily from the San Joaqu
