About the Winery

Winemaker Notes

Under management of one of Georgia’s premier wine makers, Kisi fruit is picked in early morning and brought to the winery where bunches are transferred into qvevri for fermentation according to traditional methods on skins for 6 months using natural native yeast giving rich amber color, depth and classic Georgian character.
