If anyone is aware of EU (not UK) importers/distributors of Turkish wines, please share! I’ve had the good fortune to visit some producers, including in Kalecik, and would love to explore more. Thanks!
Hi,
Here is a breakdown of the key active importers and distributors handling both large-scale and boutique Turkish producers within the EU mainland:
Major Producers & High Volume
- Weinatolien (Germany): This is the primary EU gateway for most of Turkey’s major, established producers. They handle distribution for household names and widely respected brands like Kavaklıdere, Doluca, Kayra, Diren, 7 Bilgeler, Kocabağ, Pamukkale, Likya, Sevilen, Suvla, Urla, Vinkara, and Paşaeli.
- Weinhandel Tosun (Berlin, Germany): Ahmet Tosun’s dedicated wine shop and distribution operation located at Bamberger Straße 7 in Berlin. They focus on building an exciting, hand-picked portfolio of premium Turkish labels and serve as an excellent physical and wholesale hub for the German market.
Boutique & Low-Intervention Specialists
- Wines of Turkey (Netherlands): Excellent for sourcing high-quality and unique Turkish labels across the mainland EU.
- Winemercy (Netherlands): Highly recommended for discovery. They focus heavily on exceptional boutique, small-batch, and terroir-driven producers, specifically carrying names like Kastro Tireli, Heraki, and Vinolus.
- Dede (Ireland): Chef Ahmet Dede’s operation in Ireland is a brilliant route for sourcing avant-garde, natural, and low-intervention Anatolian wines. They actively bring in exciting projects like Heraki and Prius.
