The Anatolian Renaissance: Why the World is Talking About Turkish Wine

Turkish wine is no longer a hidden secret; it is the focus of a global renaissance. After centuries of quiet production, Turkey is reasserting its position as one of the world's most compelling wine regions, anchored by history, unique terroir, and a treasure trove of indigenous grapes unmatched anywhere else.

 6,000 Years of Heritage: The True Cradle of the Vine

To understand Turkish wine is to look back 6,000 years. Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) is recognized by archaeologists and ampelographers as the genetic birthplace of Vitis Vinifera—the primary species of grapevine used for winemaking globally. Civilizations from the Hittites to the Ottomans have shaped this narrative. This deep historical root gives Turkish winemaking an unparalleled sense of place; every glass is a taste of the world’s oldest continuous winemaking tradition.
