Our Collection
Finest Vintages
Saperavi Qvevri
Winemaking Technology: Crafted in Qvevri according to the traditional Kakhetian method. The grape mass, including a portion of the stems, was placed in Qvevri for natural fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine remained on the skins (maceration) and partial stems for 2 months. It was then transferred to stainless steel tanks for 18 months for natural clarification and stabilization before bottling. Aroma: Distinct varietal characteristics of Saperavi blend seamlessly with notes of ripe red fruits and berries. Dominant aromas include ripe cornelian cherry, cherry, and blueberry.
Kisi Qvevri
Winemaking Technology: Crafted in Qvevri according to the traditional Kakhetian method. The grape mass, along with a portion of the stems, was placed in Qvevri for natural fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine remained in Qvevri on its full skins (maceration) and partial stems for 6 months. It was then transferred to stainless steel tanks for 12 months for natural clarification and stabilization before bottling. Aroma: Distinctive aromas of yellow stone fruits—apricot, quince, wild plum, and peach—complemented by notes of yellow apple and white flowers. Palate: Soft and harmonious with pleasant acidity. The palate echoes the stone fruit notes of apricot, wild plum, and peach.
The Craft
From Vine to Bottle
Late September
Harvest: The Art of Selection
Harvesting begins in late September, at the peak of perfection when sugars and phenolic maturity reach an ideal balance. We employ a selective, hand-picking method at dawn to preserve the fruit's natural coolness and pristine quality.
Traditional Kakhetian Method
Qvevri: Ancient Synthesis
Faithfully following the traditional Kakhetian method, the juice is placed in Qvevri along with the skins for natural fermentation. White wines age for 5-6 months, gaining a unique body, structure, and the authentic character inherent to natural winemaking.
Minimum One Year
Refinement: Natural Transformation
After the Qvevri stage, the wine undergoes a peaceful aging process in stainless steel for at least one year. Minimal intervention and natural stabilization allow us to produce a "living" wine that fully expresses the character of the soil and the vine.
