Kuzubağ Estate Winery was founded in 2007 when we first planted the vineyards in our hometown of Çal, Denizli, Turkey. Conscious of the region’s distinctive terroir and honoring its centuries-old winemaking heritage, we set out slowly to establish an estate showcasing indigenous Turkish grapes as well as classic varietals. After patiently waiting 13 years for the vineyards to mature, we embarked on constructing a 3000 square metre contemporary winery discreetly embedded into the landscape at the very heart of the estate. After completion in 2021 we celebrated our first vintage.
As a family with deep roots in the land and culture of the region, Kuzubağ aims to respect and connect the vine, the soil and the people. We strive to draw local and international attention to the rich history of our viticulture and highlight the unique character of the grapes in the bottle by producing high quality yet accessible wines.
Known as Mossyna in ancient Greece, the region of Çal is situated on a plateau 850 - 1100 metres above sea level. With the Büyük Menderes River flowing nearby, the terroir is defined by its distinctive clay-loam and calcareous soil and the wide ranging temperatures between day and night, with average fluctuations of 19°C. All 50 hectares of the estate’s vineyards are within the borders of Çal and are carefully tended throughout the year. The grapes are grown with modern viticultural techniques; using the low yield principle, then harvested by hand before sunrise and gravity-fed processed. Kuzubağ wines are certified organic.
