THE WINERY

Winiveria was established in the Alazani Valley by George Piradashvili in 2014 as part of the prestigious Château Mere destination winery and resort complex at the gateway to Georgia’s premier wine region. The winery collaborates with local growers and a nearby cooperative to produce high quality wines made in both traditional Georgian and classical European styles.

Production Notes

THE WINEMAKING

Following hand-harvest and crushing, grapes were fermented on skins for one month in qvevri. Aging and stabilization followed for a full year prior to release.

Product Notes

THE VINEYARD & GRAPE

The vineyard is located in the Signahi region of Kakheti in the famed Alazani river valley. Grapes are grown organically at an altitude of 400- 500m (1300-1650ft) on black carbonate soils using organic viticulture practices.

Saperavi (‘saw-per-ah-vee’) is Georgia’s most widely-planted red grape and is an ancient indigenous variety. One of the few teinturier (red skin and flesh) varieties, it is blessed with both high tannin and acidity, and is used to make a wide range of (generally deep dark) red wines. Fresh berry and plum aromas are common, along with smoke and woodsy spice.
