K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l Ba\u011fcilik & Ni&Ce Wines: A Story Born from the Ancient Lands of Kilis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Kilis<\/strong>, described by Evliya \u00c7elebi<\/strong> in his Seyahatname<\/em> as a \u00ab\u00a0city surrounded by forty types of vineyards,\u00a0\u00bb holds a unique position in viticultural history. Situated at the crossroads of East and West<\/strong>, Kilis boasts fertile lands with a winemaking tradition spanning thousands of years. This rich heritage is now being revived through K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l Ba\u011fcilik<\/strong>, established in 2009<\/strong>, bringing nearly forgotten local grape varieties back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ni&Ce: The Realization of a Dream<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This inspiring venture began with the belief in Kilis’ soil potential<\/strong> for premium winemaking. After detailed research conducted by a team of experts from Bordeaux, France<\/strong>, the K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l region<\/strong> was identified as the most suitable terroir. In 2009<\/strong>, grape vines from Bordeaux<\/strong> and Rh\u00f4ne<\/strong> were planted across a 150-acre estate<\/strong>, and by 2014<\/strong>, the first harvest was successfully completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What started as a hobby<\/strong> has grown into a renowned winemaking initiative<\/strong>, with Ni&Ce<\/strong> introducing six unique wines crafted from Kilis’ fertile soil. These wines have captured the attention of wine experts and are now available in exclusive wine shops<\/strong> in Istanbul<\/strong> and Bodrum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Miras Kilis Agrotourism Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In 2024<\/strong>, K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l Ba\u011fcilik<\/strong> launched the Miras Kilis Agrotourism Project<\/strong>, a remarkable initiative aimed at reviving Kilis’ historical, agricultural, and cultural heritage<\/strong>. The project not only focuses on wine production but also seeks to foster a thriving ecosystem<\/strong> in collaboration with the local community<\/strong>. Over the past year, more than 150 visitors<\/strong> have explored Kilis’ ancient cities<\/strong>, agricultural fields<\/strong>, and culinary treasures<\/strong>, contributing to the region’s economic and tourism growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Horos Karas\u0131: The Heritage Grape of Kilis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A centerpiece of the Miras Kilis project<\/strong> is the revival of Horos Karas\u0131<\/strong>, a valuable black grape variety<\/strong> being developed as a premium winemaking grape<\/strong>. Ongoing efforts aim to craft a distinct regional flavor profile<\/strong>, ensuring that this precious variety is preserved for future generations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Past to Future: K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l Ba\u011fcilik<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Since its founding in 2009<\/strong>, K\u0131z\u0131lg\u00f6l Ba\u011fcilik<\/strong> has championed the promotion of Kilis’ ancient history<\/strong>, agricultural richness<\/strong>, and unique flavors<\/strong>. The mission remains clear: to preserve and enhance local values<\/strong> while placing Kilis<\/strong> on the national and international map<\/strong> as a center of cultural and viticultural excellence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inclusion of KIZILG\u00d6L TARIM \u00dcR\u00dcNLER\u0130<\/strong> in Iter Vitis<\/strong> underscores a shared vision of celebrating wine as a cultural product<\/strong>, connecting local heritage<\/strong> with European narratives<\/strong>, and highlighting the profound link between land, tradition, and culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
