  • What is Georgian wine?
    Georgian wine refers to wine produced in the country of Georgia, where winemaking traditions date back over 8,000 years. Georgia is known for its unique fermentation techniques using qvevri clay vessels, natural fermentation, and use of native grape varieties like Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, and Khikhvi.
  • What is qvevri wine?
    Qvevri wine is fermented and aged in large egg-shaped clay vessels called qvevri, which are buried underground to maintain natural temperature control. The result is a wine rich in texture, tannins, and earth-driven character—often unfiltered and produced with minimal intervention.
  • Is Georgian wine considered natural or organic?
    Many Georgian wines are made with minimal processing, no additives, and traditional methods, making them ideal for consumers seeking natural, organic, or low-sulfite wines. Some wineries we work with also hold organic certifications.
  • What does amber wine taste like?
    Amber wine, also known as orange wine, has a distinctive taste profile—often earthy, nutty, slightly tannic, with dried fruit or herbal notes. It pairs well with rich foods and has a complexity that appeals to wine lovers looking for something bold and different.
  • What are the most popular types of Georgian wine?
    Saperavi – dry red wine, bold and full-bodied Kindzmarauli – semi-sweet red made from Saperavi grapes Rkatsiteli – crisp white or amber wine with acidity and spice Khikhvi & Mtsvane – aromatic white varietals Tvishi & Tsinandali – regional appellation whites

  • Are Georgian wines good for aging?
    Yes. Certain Georgian reds—especially Saperavi—are well-suited for cellaring. Many amber wines also develop beautifully with age due to their tannic structure and skin contact.
