Turkish wines are one of the world’s best-kept secrets. With a winemaking history dating back over 6,000 years, Türkiye (Anatolia) is home to some of the oldest vineyards and most distinctive indigenous grape varieties in the world. Today, a new generation of quality-focused producers is redefining Turkish wine — combining ancient terroir with modern winemaking techniques.
From elegant, fresh whites to structured, food-friendly reds, Turkish wines offer a unique alternative for wine lovers looking to explore beyond the mainstream.
Turkey’s diverse geography creates a wide range of wine styles. Thrace (Trakya), located near the European border, is known for refined, balanced wines influenced by a cooler climate. The Aegean region produces vibrant, aromatic whites and approachable reds shaped by Mediterranean sunshine, while Central Anatolia is celebrated for high-altitude vineyards and elegant, character-driven wines.
These regions contribute to a growing reputation for Turkish wines in international markets, offering freshness, authenticity, and exceptional value.
What truly sets Turkish wines apart is their indigenous grape varieties. Kalecik Karasi produces elegant, silky reds with bright acidity, often compared to Pinot Noir in style. Okuzgozu delivers juicy fruit and freshness, while Bogazkere adds structure, depth, and ageing potential. For white wine lovers, Narince stands out with its balanced acidity, floral aromatics, and versatility at the table.
These native grapes give Turkish wines a distinctive identity that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
