USCA Şarapçılık
Tokoğlu
Vineyard restaurant where Foça Karası, a 2,600-year-old grape, is served alongside Cabernet from the same hillside
Meltem Güner Atalay's hillside estate, night-harvest grapes, gravity-fed cellar, 20,000 bottles by hand
MMG is the most personal stop on the wine route. Meltem Güner Atalay built the estate in 2012 around a single insistence, pick the grapes after midnight to preserve acidity, and the resulting Şatomet wines from Bornova Misketi, Mourvèdre, Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Viognier and Kara Misket carry an unusually focused signature. The cellar uses gravity transfer and manual pressing; total output sits near 20,000 bottles. The hilltop tasting hall and adjoining ŞatoInn restaurant face out toward Bademler and the gulf.
Meltem herself often pours on weekends, the Mourvèdre and the Bornova Misketi are the two to focus on. The cheese plate is the right pairing; skip the bistro menu in favour of the tasting set.
