All of the grape varieties of MMG Winery are “Night Cultivated” which protects the aroma and delay the fermentation before grinding.

Here, we will first experience a guided tasting of six different blends, paired with a cheese platter. The wines produced here are made from Sauvignon Blanc and Narince for whites, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Foca Karasi, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Syrah for reds.
