Based on our faith in the goodness that is the essence of wine, we have named our family of wines “Kayra” a word that expresses kindness, benevolence and grace.Producing in two wineries, one in Şarköy, Thrace Region, one in Elazığ, Eastern Anatolia, Kayra aims to offer unique tastes. Our dream today is to become the next generation of winemakers, reintroducing indigenous grapes from the birthplace of wine to the world of wine. We passionately work on the great potential of Anatolia, when, once, the legacy of wine ruled the grape.

Şarköy Winery; Kayra owns two vineyards in Şarköy. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Misket grapes are grown in Hamzapınar Vineyard called as “White Vineyard” which is a 23 hectares plot; Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties are grown in Dedeçeşme Vineyard called as “Red Vineyard” which occupies in 11 hectares land.

Elazığ Winery: The city of Elazığ established in Harput outskirt hosted many civilizations for thousands of years. The Elazığ Winery of Kayra is the oldest wine winery located at the very eastern part of Turkey and therefore the closest to the homeland of wine. Öküzgözü and Boğazkere grapes that are grown in the region are vinified at Elazığ Winery which was established in 1944.

Kayra Versus Alpagut Vineyard, Eastern Anatolia: Turkey’s two well known indigenous grapes Öküzgözü and Boğazkere are grown in Alpagut vineyard established in 22 hectare area in Elazığ. Through the teroir philosophy we work on several R&D activities on both varieties to discover further the potential of these varietals.
