The story
Tokat Native
Leaves First
Modern Renaissance
Indigenous to the misty vineyards of Tokat near the Black Sea, Narince has spent centuries hidden in plain sight. Locals historically prized the leaves for making stuffed dolma more than the fruit itself. Thankfully, winemakers eventually realized that squashing the berries produced a golden liquid far superior to just eating the wrapper, leading to a renaissance of quality winemaking across the region.

Why it's special
Oak Friendly
Chameleon Style
Texture Rich
Few whites possess the chameleon-like ability to shine both as a crisp, steel-tank refresher and a complex, barrel-fermented heavyweight. It takes to oak barrels with the enthusiasm of a squirrel finding a nut factory, developing rich, creamy layers without losing its floral soul. It is rare to find such texture combined with distinct aromatic freshness in this part of the world.
