Geography

Five regions, one country.

From maritime breezes to volcanic plateaus to the ancient banks of the Tigris, five wine worlds within Türkiye, each with its own grapes, soils, and signature.

  1. Thrace
    Where Europe meets Asia. Maritime influence, fertile soils, and an ancient winemaking memory shape elegant, fresh, aromatic wines.
    Reds: Öküzgözü, Papazkarası, Syrah
    Whites: Misket, Sauvignon Blanc, Narince
  2. Aegean
    Sunlit days, cooling sea breezes, and millennia of viticultural heritage. Vibrant wines with a deep connection to Mediterranean character.
    Reds: Öküzgözü, Boğazkere, Karalahna
    Whites: Sultaniye, Narince, Bornova Misketi
  3. Central Anatolia
    High plateaus, volcanic soils, and an extreme continental climate. Vines planted between 900 and 1,300 metres yield wines of unusual character and elegance.
    Reds: Kalecik Karası, Boğazkere, Öküzgözü
    Whites: Emir, Narince, Misket
  4. South Türkiye
    From the Mediterranean coast up into the Taurus Mountains. A diversity of climates, soils, and altitudes producing expressive wines with a strong sense of place.
    Reds: Öküzgözü, Kalecik Karası, Cabernet Sauvignon
    Whites: Narince, Sultaniye, Chardonnay
  5. Southeast Türkiye
    From the Diyarbakır Plateau to the Mardin Hills, an ancient landscape of rivers and volcanic mountains, with one of the world's oldest unbroken winemaking traditions.
    Reds: Boğazkere, Öküzgözü, Mazruni
    Whites: Dimrit, Hasandede

Two of Türkiye's wine regions are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
