📍 Şarköy
A seaside slope by the Sea of Marmara with an old Greek tradition.
Şarköy is a wine sub-zone of Thrace in Türkiye, a seaside slope on the Sea of Marmara with an old Greek tradition. Why does wine do well here? The coast between Tekirdağ and Şarköy, around Uçmakdere, Şarköy and Mürefte, has a microclimate suited to vines. Adakarası is the main grape, and the local white Yapıncak survives mainly around Şarköy.
Producers include Chateau Kalpak, founded in Şarköy in 2006 with French vine material, and Melen in Hoşköy. Both can be visited on the Thrace Vineyard Route, set up in 2014: it links 12 vineyards, 7 of them in Tekirdağ province.
