Kakheti

Kakheti, located in the eastern part of Georgia, is renowned for its exceptional winemaking conditions. The region's diverse microclimates, with warm summers and mild winters, provide an ideal environment for cultivating a variety of grape types. Additionally, the rich soils and unique terroir contribute to the distinctive flavors and aromas found in Kakhetian wines. The traditional winemaking methods, including the use of qvevris for fermentation and aging, further distinguish Kakheti as a prime region for producing high-quality and characterful wines.

Fermentation in Qvevri

A Qvevri (Georgian amphora) is a typically large clay vessel used in the ancient winemaking method still practiced in Georgia. It is the world's oldest form of winemaking and has been recognized as part of UNESCO's "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" since 2013. The porous nature of the clay allows for a gentle exchange of oxygen, promoting a nuanced development of flavors and textures in the wine. This ancient winemaking technique imparts distinctive characteristics, contributing to the complex and authentic profiles of wines fermented and aged in qvevris.
