Vine Ponto: Sip the Ancient Spirit of Georgian Wine

If wine could tell stories, Vine Ponto would be a thousand-year epic. Hailing from the birthplace of wine, Georgia, Vine Ponto masterfully blends ancient winemaking traditions with modern expertise to create wines that are rich in history, character, and flavor. Welcome to the world of Vine Zero Point, where every bottle celebrates Georgia’s unparalleled viticultural heritage.


The Vine Zero Point Philosophy: Where Wine Began

The name Vine Ponto comes from “Vine Zero Point”, a nod to Georgia as the origin of winemaking. Archaeologists trace the first harvest here back to 6000 BC, making Georgia the cradle of wine culture. At the heart of Vine Ponto’s wines is the UNESCO-recognized Kvevri method—traditional clay fermentation buried underground. This ancient technique ensures stable year-round temperatures, allowing wines to develop unmatched depth, texture, and flavor.


Vineyards & Grape Selection: The Roots of Excellence

Vine Ponto knows that great wine starts in the vineyard. Each grape variety is carefully grown in its ideal Kakheti terroir:

  • Kisi – Maghraani village

  • Mtsvane – Akhmeta city

  • Rkatsiteli – Tsinandali microzone

  • Saperavi – Napareuli

  • Mukuzani – Mukuzani village

With techniques like Green Harvesting, the team thins crops to concentrate flavors. Grapes are handpicked, sorted, and gently pressed before undergoing six months of Kvevri fermentation, preserving their natural character.


From Clay to Oak: Traditional & Natural Aging

After Kvevri fermentation, Vine Ponto wines rest in Seguin Moreau oak barrels for 9–14 months, without artificial acceleration. This natural maturation process allows the wines to evolve gracefully, earning Vine Ponto awards in local and international competitions and delighting wine lovers worldwide.
