Wines from Turkey.
Quality that convinces.
If you are looking for new and interesting wines and would like to buy Turkish wine, then we are happy to help. We visit our winegrowers regularly and get an idea of the quality in and around the winery on site. If you want to be there, by the way, become a follower on our Instagram account. We offer you a mixture of large and well-known brands, which are also very popular in Turkey, but also present small winegrowers, whom we would like to bring you closer with some very limited editions.
Our wine tours
We make you want more.
The more than 6000 year old winemaking tradition of Turkey has experienced a great boom since the beginning of the 2000s. Many small winemakers have set up boutique wineries where they produce wines from international and regional grape varieties. A lot is invested in new tank technology as well as cultivation and expansion methods for the wines. This is also noticeable in the quality, because the climate and soil already offer the grapes excellent conditions.
Selection of national and international grape varieties
Try wines made from the indigenous grape varieties, such as the rowein grapes Öküzgözu, Kalecik Karasi or Bogazkere. If you like white wine we recommend Narince, Sultaniye or Emir. Here we have put together a trial package for you. Turkey has more autochthonous, i.e. indigenous grape varieties that only occur there than any other country. Even if you are unsure, ask us - we would be happy to recommend wines for an invitation, for various dishes or occasions. You can contact us here.
Viticulture in Turkey - Turkish wine as exotic
Did you know? With 448.000 hectares of vineyards in 2018, Turkey has the fourth largest vineyard area in Europe, behind Spain (1), France (2) and Italy (3) (source OIV World Economic Report 2018). This means that Turkey has around 4 times as much vineyards as Germany with 102.000 hectares. Outside of Europe, Turkey is in second place behind China. Most of the production is used for table grapes, the production of grape juice and dried grapes, only about 3% is used for the production of wine and raki.
Half of the wine produced in the country is consumed by tourists. So it often happens that Turkey vacationers ask us about their new “favorite wine” and whether you can get it here. All in all, the result can be seen without a doubt, and above all tasted the Turkish wine! The large number of international awards and medals at renowned wine events and tastings testify to the high level and increasing popularity, not only among wine professionals.
Turkish wine in Germany
Turkey imports only 7.000 hl to Germany (according to 2017 statistics), for comparison, Italy imported 5.456.000 hl of wine to Germany in the same year. So, as a consumer of Turkish wine, you can count yourself as exotic, or better still, count yourself among an illustrious group of initiated connoisseurs! And that's what we've come up with, because with us you can simply experience and buy original Turkish wine and raki.
