Welcome to the world of Georgian wine, where ancient traditions meet modern excellence!
Did you know that Georgia is often called the "Cradle of Wine"? That's right – winemaking here dates back an astonishing 8,000 years! Let’s dive into the fascinating world of amber wines, Qvevris and the centuries-old art of winemaking, that makes Georgian wine culture so special.
A sip of legacy
Ever wondered about the origins of wine? You only have to go as far as Georgia to get the answer: millennia ago, its ancestors perfected winemaking, and remarkably, they still employ some of those ancient methods today. The Qvevri method, where wine ferments in egg-shaped clay vessels buried underground, has even earned recognition from UNESCO. The wine ferments over several months, with the skins, stems, and seeds contributing to the wine's complex flavors and deep color, hence the name of amber wine. This method not only preserves the wine but also enhances its natural characteristics, resulting in a robust, earthy taste.
Sip and Savor
Georgian wine is not just a drink; it’s an experience. Whether it’s the sturdy reds, crisp whites, or the intriguing amber wines made in Qvevri, there’s something for every palate. Their wines are crafted with love, tradition, and a touch of Georgian soul.
