Aegean

Positioned in the westernmost part of Turkey, the Aegean region is renowned for its splendidly rich vineyards and unique wines. The region's ideal climatic conditions, which incorporate abundant sunshine and a refreshing sea breeze, foster the growth of an array of grape varieties that are imbued with an unmatched depth of flavour. Influenced by the meeting of the Mediterranean and the Aegean seas, the terroir is primarily defined by calcareous clay and loamy soil, each contributing to the distinctive characteristics of the wines produced here.

Known for its indigenous red and white grape cultivars such as Boğazkere, Öküzgözü, and Narince, the Aegean region is committed to preserving its viticultural heritage. The red wines are celebrated for their robust structure and tannic intensity, often underscoring flavours of ripe red fruits, cocoa, and spicy notes. The white wines, on the other hand, are admired for their expressive aromatics and crisp acidity, offering a palatable variety of citrus flavours entwined with floral notes on the nose.

Notable for their emphasis on sustainable viticulture, local producers are increasingly practising organic and biodynamic farming methods, which have only enhanced the region’s celebrated wines. The Aegean region, with its time-honoured winemaking traditions and noteworthy modern quality standards, has truly emerged as a significant player in the international wine arena.

Wines from the Aegean region, savoured in Turkey as well as across the world, are enjoyed in their youthful expression. Still, some age-worthy red wines from this region offer an evolved complexity and depth with cellar time. Whether you're a novice enthusiast or a seasoned connoisseur, the wonderful wines from this Turkish paradise are sure to exceed any and all expectations. Truly, the Aegean region of Turkey is a partially hidden treasure, waiting to be experienced by wine lovers around the world.
