Discover Osmanca, a rare indigenous Turkish white grape from the Aegean region near Ephesus. Once used mainly for table grapes, raisins, and molasses, Osmanca is now being revived by Akberg through expressive, terroir-driven wines. Learn about its history, vineyard character, winemaking challenges, and the vibrant citrus, herbal, and floral profile of Akberg Büyükbağ Osmanca.

On August 7, The Lymbar and Fine Turkish Wine co-hosted a night of pairing Turkish wine with Latin Mediterranean fusion food at the restaurant’s Sip & Savor Turkish wine-paired dinner. The result was no less than stunning!

This month we are happy to introduce Americans to three local Turkish grape varieties: get ready for Osmanca, Çal Karası, and Karasakız!
