In the lands where the Lydians, one of Anatolia’s ancient wine-making civilisations, established their vineyards 3,000 years ago
In 2016, in the Köprübaşı district of Salihli, Manisa, situated in the region where the Lydians—one of Anatolia’s ancient wine-making civilisations—established their vineyards 3,000 years ago, near the Gediz River basin (known in antiquity as the Hermos); on our land situated at an altitude of 650 metres, where the soil, rich in quartz, glistens everywhere, and where much of the land—virgin soil untouched since ancient times—was meticulously tilled and planted.
On this long journey that began from scratch, our vines are growing with patience and hard work. Situated at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level on sloping terrain where the Aegean and continental climates meet, and bathed in the gentle breezes that blow throughout the year, our vineyard is a place of great potential and full of surprises, where the significant day-night temperature difference enhances the aromatic richness. We eagerly await the future potential of our vines as they continue to mature.
On our land, situated at an altitude of 650 metres, the soil—which glistens everywhere due to its quartz content—has been meticulously tilled and sown, much of it virgin soil that has never been cultivated from the past to the present day.

In our vineyards, we practise controlled agricultural production based on traceability and reliability, guided by the principles of low-yield viticulture and respect for nature. In the fight against diseases and pests, we utilise electronic monitoring systems to enable early diagnosis and intervention. The grapes are harvested by hand and, immediately after harvesting, are stored in our cold storage facilities until they reach the appropriate processing temperature. The principle of harvesting in the early morning hours aims to preserve the grapes’ vitality until they are processed.
At our annual grape harvest events, held every year during the harvest season, you can experience grape picking in our Köprübaşı vineyards, follow in the footsteps of the Lydians to observe the wine-making process up close using traditional methods, and take part in our special tasting sessions. Come and enjoy an unforgettable day in our lavender gardens!
