What Makes Natural Georgian Wine the Gold Standard for Organic Winemaking

In the conversation about organic and natural wines, Georgian wine deserves a front-row seat. While many winemakers are just now embracing sustainable farming and minimal intervention, Georgia has been perfecting it naturally for millennia—without the marketing buzzwords.

True natural Georgian wine starts in the vineyard, where indigenous grape varieties like “Saperavi”, “Rkatsiteli”, and “Mtsvane” thrive without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Instead of forcing uniformity, Georgian farmers celebrate biodiversity, letting nature guide the process. Once harvested, grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts, and wines are bottled with minimal to no sulfite additions.

Fun Fact: Georgia is home to over 500 indigenous grape varieties—more than nearly any other country in the world!

Corus Imports, the premier Georgian wine importer in the U.S., champions this authentic approach by partnering with producers like “Marani Wines”, “Mtevino”, and “Vaziani”. Their selections showcase what makes Georgian natural wine stand out: purity of flavor, sense of place, and a genuine connection to the earth.

What’s remarkable is how each wine reflects the rugged, breathtaking landscapes of Georgia—from the mineral-rich soils of Kakheti to the misty hills of Imereti. In every bottle, there’s a vivid snapshot of Georgia’s untouched terroir.

Natural Georgian wines aren’t crafted to chase awards—they’re made to honor tradition, nourish the land, and tell a story. For wine lovers seeking authenticity over artifice, Georgian wine offers a refreshing return to nature’s original intentions.
