WINE PRODUCTION IN EASTERN GEORGIA

Grapes are processed in our Vachnadziani cellar, famous for its distinguished feudal kings: Jandieri and Vachnadze. Since the 17th century, Jandieri, as well as Vachnadze belong to famous noble families in the area of former Hereti. With the support of Jandieri and the efforts of the family, the destroyed winery was rebuilt in 1877. It shall be highlighted that this Jandieri family's winery is still functioning with the support of Winery Karasani.

Nowadays, winemaking process is carried out by application of modern techniques. As mentioned before, Kakheti is rich in fertile soil, a condition for successful winemaking. Kakheti soil is rich in lime and guarantees the best quality for indigenous grapes such as Rkatsiteli, Khvivi, Saferavi, Kisi and others.

Bottled wines are stored in our 7.7 km long tunnel, which is carved in the Caucasus ridge, through the rock. The rock contains granite, which is surrounded by clay schist layers. All around the year, natural temperature of 12-24° Celcius is preserved. This is also the place where wines are aged in oak barrels.
