Introducing a Groundbreaking Wine: The First-Ever Dişi Mercan Wine of Türkiye
At 502 Vineyards, our mission has always been to celebrate and preserve the rich winemaking heritage of our region, bringing forgotten local grape varieties back to life. Today, we are thrilled to introduce a truly groundbreaking wine—the first-ever bottle crafted from the indigenous Dişi Mercan grape of Amasya.
A Heritage Rediscovered
Dişi Mercan is a rare and ancient grape variety native to the Amasya region, known for its delicate floral aromas and lively acidity. Despite its historical presence, this grape had never before been cultivated for winemaking—until now. Through meticulous vineyard care and a dedication to small-batch, artisanal winemaking, we have transformed Dişi Mercan into a vibrant, aromatic white wine that showcases the unique terroir of our land.
Winemaking & Aging Process
Grape Variety: 100% Dişi Mercan
Fermentation: Stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity
Aging: 4 months on lees, adding texture and complexity
Our minimal-intervention approach allows the natural character of the grape to shine, creating a wine that is both expressive and true to its origins.
Tasting Notes

A Milestone for Turkish Winemaking
