    Georgia is often called the cradle of wine, and rightly so. With a winemaking history that stretches back over 8,000 years, this country is known not only for its remarkable winemaking tradition, but also for the variety and quality of its wines. Our wines are not just drinks, but rather the result of centuries of craftsmanship, tradition and passion. They reflect the unique characteristics of Georgian terroirs and invite you to get to know the history and culture of this fascinating country.

    The Kakheti Wine Region: The Heart of Georgian Winemaking

    The most famous wine region in Georgia is Kakheti, which stretches across the eastern part of the country. This region is famous for its fertile soils, continental climate and traditionally used grape varieties. This is where the grapes that characterize our wines grow.

    One of the most characteristic grape varieties of Kakhreti is the Saperavi grape, which we use for our medium-sweet Akhasheni red wine . This wine, made from 100% Saperavi grapes, is cultivated in the renowned Mukuzani region. The Akhasheni delights with its full-bodied texture and the harmonious interplay of flavors such as plum, red fruits and cherries. The Akhasheni is more than just a wine; it is the result of the love and care that goes into every single step of the winemaking process, from harvest to bottling.

    Another highlight from Kakheti is our semi-dry Pirosmani red wine , also made from Saperavi grapes. This wine shows the diversity of the Saperavi grape with its intense aroma of ripe cherries and a full-bodied structure. Every glass of this wine tells the story of the region and the traditions that go into its production.

    Tradition meets innovation

    Georgian winemaking is a remarkable combination of centuries-old traditions and modern innovations. The quevri technique is a good example of this. This traditional method uses large, barrel-shaped vessels dug into the ground to ferment and store the grapes. This technique gives the wines a distinctive touch and highlights their aromas.

    An outstanding example of the quevri technique in our selection is the Dry Rkatsiteli Kvevri White Wine . This wine is made from the Rkatsiteli grape, one of the oldest and most famous Georgian grape varieties. With its complex aromatic structure, characterized by white and dry fruits as well as fine herbs, it offers a flavor profile that reflects the diversity of the Georgian terroir. The Rkatsiteli is a fresh and lively accompaniment to a variety of dishes and is perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or family.

    The Identity of Georgian Wines

    Georgian wines are not only products of viticulture, but also cultural expressions. They tell stories of the earth, the grapes and the passion that flows into every drop. Our dry Saperavi red wine is a prime example of the robustness and versatility of this region. With its deep dark red and the aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries and a round aftertaste, it is the ideal companion for festive occasions or cozy evenings.

    We also offer the semi-sweet Ojaleshi wine , which comes from the Racha-Lechkhumi region. This wine captivates with its fascinating aroma of wild strawberries and dried fruits and stands out for its lively acidity and freshness. It is not only a delight for the palate, but also a journey through the different landscapes and cultures of Georgia.

    A feast for the senses

    Enjoying a Georgian wine is more than just drinking a beverage; it is an experience that appeals to all the senses. Our wines, such as the medium-sweet Alazani Valley white wine , showcase the freshness and fruitiness of Georgian grape varieties. With its straw-yellow color and aromas of honeydew melon and quince, this wine is a perfect accompaniment to fresh salads and light desserts. Its natural sweetness and fruity harmony create an unforgettable taste experience.

    Equally impressive is the Dry Napareuli Red Wine , which has been aged for 12 months in French barriques. This wine adds a sophisticated touch to dishes with its aromas of strawberries, liquorice and subtle oak. It harmonizes perfectly with roasted beef and pork and is an ideal partner for festive menus.

    The Future of Georgian Wine

    Georgian winemakers continue to embrace sustainable practices and innovation to improve the quality and variety of their wines. Our Semi-Dry Pirosmani Rosé Wine , made from 100% Saperavi grapes, is a prime example of these efforts. With a fresh, velvety taste and a floral bouquet, this wine demonstrates the winemakers' commitment to preserving tradition while breaking new ground. The rosé wine offers a pleasant balance between fruit and acidity and is perfect for social gatherings outdoors.

    Another highlight is our dry Mtsvane white wine . This grape variety is characterized by its liveliness and fruity aromas and is an excellent accompaniment to summer dishes. With its refreshing character and tangy acidity, the Mtsvane is a popular choice for wine lovers looking for a light, yet flavorful wine.

    Conclusion

    Georgia is not just a country with a rich wine tradition; it is a place where the art of winemaking is deeply rooted in the culture. The variety of wines we offer, from fruity whites to full-bodied reds, reflects the passion and dedication of Georgian winemakers. Every sip tells the story of a country that is proud of its heritage while remaining open to new influences.
