Kayra
Words of Özge Karmein
In previous years, I mean, 10 years before, the grower didn’t have that much knowledge about wine, vineyards. After the wineries began to own their own vineyards and they made agreements with the growers, the mentality of the growers changed. I mean, they care about their vineyards a lot. They spend time. They spend money for their grapes. I think after that, the quality of the grapes has improved. The training systems, trellis and all, they pay money for that. The mentality has changed.

About
Kayra was formerly Tekel, the state owned tobacco and spirits monopoly founded during the Ottoman period in 1862. In early 2004 it was renamed Mey and privatized by a domestic consortium of businessmen who then sold to Texas Pacific Group (TPG), the private equity firm run by David Bonderman in 2006. Under TPG, Napa wine consultant Daniel O’Donnell was brought on board to improve the quality of the wines, and drinks conglomorate Diagio then purchased it.
