Turkey is one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world, with a history that dates back over 6,000 years. Positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Turkey offers a fascinating blend of ancient traditions, diverse terroirs, and unique indigenous grape varieties.

A Legacy of Ancient Winemaking
Turkey’s winemaking roots are deeply intertwined with its history and culture, making it one of the birthplaces of viticulture. With its varied climates and fertile soils, Turkey is home to a wide range of vineyards, from the sunny Aegean coast to the high-altitude regions of Anatolia. These ideal growing conditions allow winemakers to produce wines with depth, character, and a true sense of place.
Indigenous Grapes & Unique Flavors
One of the most exciting aspects of Turkish wines is their use of indigenous grape varieties, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. Öküzgözü, a native red grape, produces wines with bright acidity, soft tannins, and flavours of ripe red fruits. Another standout is Boğazkere, which creates bold and full-bodied reds with notes of dark fruit, spices, and earthy undertones.
For white wine lovers, Narince offers aromatic and refreshing wines with flavours of citrus, apple, and floral notes, while Emir delivers crisp, mineral-driven whites perfect for pairing with Mediterranean cuisine.
A Wide Range of Styles
Turkish wines offer something for every palate, from light and aromatic whites to bold and complex reds. The country’s diverse climates and winemaking techniques result in an impressive variety of styles, including vibrant rosés and dessert wines. Whether you’re looking for a wine to complement a meal or a unique bottle to share with friends, Turkish wines are sure to impress.
Tradition Meets Innovation

combining time-honoured methods with cutting-edge technology to produce wines that reflect the purity of their land. This dedication to quality is earning Turkish wines a growing reputation on the international stage.
