Over millions of years, the lava and ash erupted by volcanoes formed the tuff soil that gives life to the vineyards of Cappadocia. Retaining moisture through their porous structure, these volcanic soils preserve the natural balance of the vines while lending our wines a distinct mineral richness.

Cappadocia is one of the oldest centres of viticulture and winemaking in the world. This deep-rooted tradition of more than 4,000 years lives on, from the Hittites to the present day, in cellars carved into rock and in centuries-old vineyards. Lying at an average altitude of 1,000 – 1,200 metres, the vineyards carry all the distinction of a harsh continental climate. The marked difference between day and night temperatures at high altitude preserves the aromatic profile and natural acidity of the grapes, allowing slow, balanced ripening.
