Kocabag Wines

verifiedAskCappadocia says

The family winery to visit if you want to taste Turkey through its own grapes. Started in Uçhisar in 1972 from a single cave carved into the volcanic tuff and now run by the founder's sons, Kocabağ works almost entirely with indigenous Turkish varieties: whites like Emir and Narince, reds like Kalecik Karası, Boğazkere and Öküzgözü. The wines ferment and age in huge tanks cut straight into the rock, which makes the tasting room itself part of the story. It is a polished, refined setting rather than a rustic shed. Come for an unfussy, genuinely local tasting and leave knowing what Cappadocia actually grows.
