Elazığ Vineyard Heartland

Elazığ sits in northern Mesopotamia's Euphrates valley (9500–5000 BCE domestication zone) — home to the signature Öküzgözü grape thriving at 900m altitude. High-elevation vineyards develop concentrated flavors while cool nights preserve acidity in Turkey's ancient winemaking cradle.
