Our passion for quality wine, our commitment to the principles of sustainability, the value we place on labor, our love of nature and its healing properties are combined with inspiration from William Shakespeare's sonnets. We produce for you to feel the values that make up USCA and our passion in every glass.
The first steps of USCA were taken in 2002 with the purchase of the first vineyard in the village of Payamlı, Güzelbahçe, İzmir.
New vineyards were established in Urla Kocadağ locality.
First trial production started.
Corporate identity builded
New vineyards were planted, taking the land on which the current winery is located.
First harvest and production under the USCA brand.
The first bottling started with 4 different products.
We produce approximately 45,000 bottles of wine per year with traditional production methods and Chateaux-type production techniques in our winery located in the fertile lands of Urla. Every year, we bring together ten different products and, in addition to these ten products, different harvests of current products to wine lovers.
A respect for nature and the pleasure we take in production is in every bottle.
We invite you to share this pleasure with us.
With 20 years of vineyards and 10 years of production experience, our young brand USCA has not compromised on its principle of "quality wine" production in this short time, and has been awarded in many organizations attended by local and foreign wine experts.
We produce 10 different wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Viognier, Chardonnay, Öküzgözü, Bornova Misketi and Foça Karası grapes grown in our vineyards with the principle of dedication to quality and harmony between fruit, pH, tannin and alcohol.
Inspired by William Shakespeare's sonnets, our wines are named with the number of the matching sonnet.
USCA Sonnet 5, which we produce from the precious Bornova Muscat grape belonging to the terroir of our region, and USCA Sonnet 23, which we produce from the ancient Foça Karası grape grown in these lands for 2600 years, are among our wines that turn our local grapes into excellent taste.
