Turkish wine producers have had to struggle for survivial until recently. Now, Turkey offers an array of different wines
and styles, including intriguing domestic varieties.
An example of one producer is Mahzen, www.mahzensarap.com. Most wine is produced by large companies, one of them formerly controlled by the government. As one article indicates, wine production is advancing rapidly in Turkey. Some of the big producer have made fine efforts, though we prefer
to see a boutique wine industry develop as well.
A recent tasting: Kavaklidere Narince-Semillon, 2002 made from the native Narince grape blended with French variety Semillon.
