Ankara Wine Region
A Legacy of Viticulture Excellence in the Heart of Turkey
Our Roots in Ankara's Vineyards
Twenty years ago, our founder's family tended their own vineyard in the Ankara region, cultivating grapes with traditional methods passed down through generations. This deep connection to the land and understanding of viticulture inspired Posamas's mission to valorize every part of the grape, transforming what was once considered waste into valuable resources.
"Growing up among the vines taught me that nature provides abundantly β we just need to learn how to use every gift wisely. Today, Posamas continues this philosophy by ensuring no grape pomace goes to waste."β Posamas Founder
Ankara's Unique Terroir
Continental Climate
Hot, dry summers and cold winters create ideal conditions for producing grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity.
High Altitude
Vineyards at 850-1,200 meters elevation benefit from cool nights that preserve grape aromatics and extend the growing season.
Volcanic Soils
Rich volcanic and clay-limestone soils provide excellent drainage and mineral complexity to the grapes.
