Our four wines from Georgia showcase the unique characteristics and flavour profiles of the country. Aged notes, deep complexity, bold and brave tannins compliment these pieces of traditional Georgian culture. Simply divine.

Georgia is one of the oldest wine making countries in the world. There are around 500-525 different endemic, indigenous grape types in Georgia, which do not exist anywhere else. We still make amber (orange) and red wines in “Qvevri” using an ancient method. “Qvevri” is a large earthenware vessel used for the fermentation, storage and ageing of traditional Georgian wine. The wine made in traditional Georgian way is free of any animal product or artificial yeast.

Red | Still | 75cl | 13.5% ABV

Cellaring: Drinking well now, will continue to develop for 5 to 7 years.

Vinification: The fermentation of this premium Georgian wine takes place in a Qvevri—a traditional large earthenware vessel—incorporating grape skins, stalks, and pips (chaca). This ancient method, free from any animal products or yeast, imparts a distinctive and more intense flavour to the wine.
