Turkey has along history of producing brilliant wines in a number of regions in country. Historians can trace wine production in Turkey as back as thousands years ago. However a lot of people are still surprised when they first visited Turkey and discover that it is also wine production country. Today Turkey has a fifth-largest vineyard acreage in the world, it is also sixth globally in a grape production. However winemaking industry doesn't come as high as we could expect , it comes as low as 45th in a world, just ahead of Belarus, India, Cuba according to the Wine Institute. In a recent years Turkish grapes came back to fame like Kalecik Karasi( black from the small castle) a medium bodied grape most similar to Pinot Noirs, Papaskarasi ( 'Priest's Black') it is very old Thracian grape it makes elegant, fruity wine with high acidity.
