Tomurcukbağ Wines
Tomurcukbağ Wines was founded in 2002 by Prof.Dr. Y.Sabit Agaoglu after working nearly 20 years to resurrect the Turkish black grape variety, Kalecik Karasi.
Tomurcukbağ winery is located in the homeland of Kalecik Karası grape, Kalecik, Ankara, in the lands where this special and naive Anatolian grape grows best, in its real terroir. Tomurcukbağ vineyards located in the Kızılırmak valley are 10 acres. The winery has a capacity of 30.000 bottles per year maintaining its boutique character.
Kalecik Karasi, bottled under the label “Trajan” falls into that nebulous “natural” category. The vineyards are organic, hand-harvested, nothing is added or extracted during the winemaking, and wines ferment with the yeast that comes in on the grapes. Wines are not aged at all in oak.
