Our Story
The roots of our winery date back to over half a century ago when our grandfather, Zurab Mzekalashvili, planted Rkatsiteli grapevines and began to produce Qvevri wines in the wine cellar at his home in Kvareli. His passion and love for viticulture and winemaking inspired the entire family to follow his footsteps in the tradition of making unique wines of the highest quality, using a few specific technologies our grandfather shared with us.
History of Georgian Wine
Did you know that Georgia produces some of the world’s most unique and distinctive wines with over 500 varieties of indigenous grapes and ancient wine-making traditions that span centuries?
Archaeological evidence published by Professor Patrick McGovern, a molecular archaeologist from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology confirms that Georgia is the oldest wine-making nation in the world with the wine residues dated back to 6000 B.C.
