Turasan Cappadocia

Cappadocia Opened Opening date unknown

Where Cappadocia's volcanic soil ends up in your glass

Turasan pours flights of Emir and Kalecik Karası, whites and reds built on grapes that only really work here. The high plateau and volcanic soil give the wine a mineral edge you won't get elsewhere in Turkey.

Staff at the Ürgüp cellar door talk you through the native varieties glass by glass, and bottles go home with you. Good stop if you want to understand why this stretch of Anatolia has grown wine for millennia.

Good to know

• Ask for a tasting flight of the native Emir and Kalecik Karası.
