Doluca / SARAfIN took a leap forward in the early 90′s when we thought “why not grow these noble grape varieties in the noble lands of wine-making?” They imported Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from French vineyards and planted them in the Gallipoli Peninsula on the shores of the Aegean Sea – the shores of Saros Bay to be exact – land which had been used for viticulture for hundreds of years.
They also brought the latest New World technology and waited for several years for the vineyards to mature, dreaming of the wines they would make. In 1996 we produced our first wine and tasted that and subsequent vintages with great excitement. Their first wine went on sale in 1998. They knew that obtaining landmark quality in these varietals takes time, patience and understanding. Their patience was proved in the time we took to fully develop our vineyards. With hope our time and effort, and subsequent results, would lead the way for other similar ventures in Turkey and they feel proud to have initiated such a drive forward.
