Wines
SHABO Reserve Telti-Kuruk is a varietal white wine. Bunches for the Reserve collection are sorted before gentle pressing under a fully inert atmosphere in French Vaslin Bucher Inertys presses. At the 2026 London Wine Competition, the 2024 wine showed lemon, pear and grass, with balanced acidity and a clean, medium-length finish.
SHABO Original Collection Cabernet is made from Cabernet Sauvignon. It ferments in stainless steel for 7-10 days at 26-28°C, followed by post-fermentation maceration whose duration is set through expert tasting. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 20°C, a step SHABO associates with greater softness and balance.
