Soil and Wine - Vineyards and Wines of Turkey/ Toprak ve Şarap - Türkiye'nin Bağları ve Şarapları

Soil and Wine: Turkey's Vineyards and Wines brings together, for the first time in Turkey, travel notes and wine tasting notes from the vineyards and wineries of 85 different local producers.

Two wine enthusiasts, Süray Cingöz Atış and Doğuhan Atış, who have dedicated their lives to understanding wine, have been tasting the wines of this land for years by travelling to vineyards and wineries in Turkey one by one. Because they know that it is difficult to find a product that reflects its region, soil and ‘terroir’ as much as wine. They write with an eye that knows that wine should not only be seen as a food accompaniment, but also the grape that creates it and the soil that grows it.

You can read this book to create vineyard trip routes for yourself, or you can read it to choose without getting confused in front of the wine shelves and to discover new wines in the style you like. If your knowledge on wine is limited, fear not, because when you close the cover of this book, you will have acquired the basics from wine types to production techniques, from the reading of grapes to winemaking terms; this time through Turkey, by getting to know the grapes, wines and brands of this geography...

A marvellous guide, an entertaining resource for discovering the wines of the country..."
