Restaurants Carry Türkiye's Heritage Grapes to The Future

"With approximately 270 items and a steadily growing selection, this wine list includes nearly 50 locally produced wines and nearly 50 made from local grapes, and half of the menu consists of Turkish producers. Responding to rising interest in natural wines, the team recommends domestic pet-nats to guests beginning with sparkling, and sommelier Özkan Sercan Vatansever pairs the artichoke plate with Albariño from the Aegean, matches the earthy taste of mushrooms with Öküzgözü, sends desserts out with Bornova Misket, and finds harmony between the butter and honey plate and a naturally sparkling brut white wine made from Kalecik Karası. Built to mirror the micro-seasonal tasting menu that changes daily for some items, the list largely features global grapes cultivated by local producers." - MICHELIN Guide
