"It is my absolute pleasure to introduce these outstanding grape varieties to the world. The wines that we are making have incredible, strong personalities and sing songs of our rich history."
- Ardıç Gürsel, Founder, Vinkara
The Kalecik terrain and Vinkara's vineyard, which neighbor the Kızılırmak River Basin, are one of the most important and ideal regions in the world for viticulture because of the microclimate created by the surrounding mountains.
Scientific studies prove that the history of wine dates back 15,000 years to the Hittites who lived in Central Anatolia, modern day Turkey - a place believed to be the birthplace of winemaking.
