Urla Winery – Chardonnay

Urla Chardonnay is a Turkish white wine that showcases the elegance and richness of the Chardonnay grape in the Aegean region. Urla Winery often emphasizes freshness, complexity, and subtle oak influence, creating a balanced and refined expression of this classic variety. Here are the typical tasting notes:

• Color: Bright straw yellow with a hint of gold
• Aroma: Aromas of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, with tropical hints of pineapple and banana. Subtle notes of vanilla, toast, and almond may also be present if oak-aged.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. The wine has flavors of yellow apple, pear, and citrus zest, complemented by undertones of hazelnut, butter, or a touch of minerality. Oak aging (if present) lends a balanced hint of spice and complexity.
• Finish: Long, refreshing finish with lingering fruitiness and a touch of toasty oak or minerality, depending on the specific vintage and vinification.

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses. Its balance of fruit, acidity, and structure makes it a versatile choice for both sipping and pairing with a range of foods.
