The Camlica family has been farming in Buyukkaristiran, Luleburgaz since 1936. The first generation of the family immigrated from Kubadin, Razgrad, in northeastern Bulgaria. Kubadin was renamed Loznitsa in the 1930s. The new name means "Vineyard Place" in Bulgarian, referring to the fact that this was the first place where American rootstocks were grown first time in the country. Mustafa Camlica, a prominent fine wine investor from the third generation of the family to live in Turkey, is the name behind this very ambitious project. The company is named after his daughter, who also designs all the labels. All the production facilities are in Buyukkaristiran, 120 kilometers west of İstanbul. All the vineyards are located in Kirklareli Province. The Bulgarian name of Kirklareli was Lozengrad, which means "The city of Vines". We currently have 90 hectares under vine . Our plantings are some of the highest density in the Balkans and Turkey, ranging from 5,000 to 6,666 vines per hectare , with some vineyards even at 10 ,000! The aim of high-density planting is to enhance quality and encourage deep root systems to express the full potential of the terroir. The Strandja Massif has a dominant effect on our vineyard soils and climates. The region is the Strandja massif, a volcanic arc 1.5 billion years old, and active until 150 million years ago. There are different terroirs here, including decomposed granite (with or without large pebbles), and also clay/limestone terra rossa. It's one of the best places in Europe for growing vines.
