Discover How Wine Ponto is Revitalizing Georgian Winemaking with the Ancient Qvevri Technique When it comes to showcasing the true essence of Georgian wine, few methods are as deeply rooted in tradition as the qvevri technique. This ancient method of fermenting and aging wine in large clay vessels has been used in Georgia for over 8,000 years, and it's gaining worldwide recognition for its sustainable and organic approach to winemaking. At Corus Imports, we’re proud to bring Wine Ponto’s exceptional qvevri wines to the U.S., offering a taste of Georgian history and heritage with every bottle.

The Qvevri Method: A Pillar of Georgian Wine Heritage

The qvevri method is more than just a winemaking technique—it’s a symbol of Georgian resilience and culture. UNESCO recognized it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, celebrating its unique role in the history of winemaking. In this ancient method, wine is fermented and aged in large, egg-shaped clay vessels that are buried underground. These vessels allow for natural fermentation with wild yeasts, resulting in wines that are unfiltered, full of character, and deeply connected to Georgia’s terroir.

How Wine Ponto Embraces the Qvevri Tradition: Wine Ponto is one of Georgia’s most respected wine producers, and their commitment to preserving the qvevri tradition is evident in every bottle they produce. By using this ancient technique, they craft wines that reflect the purity and authenticity of Georgian winemaking. Their dedication to quality and heritage makes them an essential part of the growing global natural wine movement.

The Art of Natural Wine: Wine Ponto’s Organic and Sustainable Approach

At Wine Ponto, sustainability is at the heart of everything they do. The winery embraces organic farming practices, ensuring that the grapes used in their wines are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. They prioritize biodynamic farming methods that maintain healthy soils, promote biodiversity, and conserve water.

How Wine Ponto Supports Sustainability: By practicing organic farming and limiting intervention in the cellar, Wine Ponto produces wines that are as close to nature as possible. This low-intervention approach allows the true expression of the grapes to shine through, resulting in wines that are vibrant, complex, and full of life. In addition to the qvevri fermentation, Wine Ponto’s wines are bottled with minimal sulfites and without artificial additives, ensuring that every sip is as natural as it gets.

Wine Ponto’s Commitment to Preserving Georgian Heritage

Wine Ponto’s mission goes beyond making great wine—they are dedicated to preserving the rich winemaking traditions of Georgia for future generations. The qvevri method is an integral part of the country’s winemaking culture, and Wine Ponto has taken it upon themselves to maintain and promote this ancient art form.

How Wine Ponto Honors Georgian Heritage: By utilizing the qvevri method and working with indigenous grape varieties like Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, and Saperavi, Wine Ponto ensures that the flavors and techniques passed down through centuries remain alive today. These wines are not only a tribute to Georgia’s past—they represent a future where traditional winemaking methods coexist with modern sustainability practices.
