Why Georgia matters

Georgia is wine history you can actually drink

Georgian wine feels distinctive because of its grapes, clay-vessel traditions and long skin-contact white-wine styles.

It is a brilliant country for curious drinkers, especially those interested in texture, savoury flavours and wines outside the usual European map.

Kakheti

Georgia's main wine region

Kakheti is the best-known region for qvevri wines, amber whites and Saperavi reds.

Kartli

Freshness and sparkling potential

Kartli produces white and red varieties with a cooler, fresher feel.

Imereti

Lighter qvevri styles

Imereti often gives qvevri wines with less skin contact and a lighter touch.

Racha

Mountain wines and distinctive varieties

Racha is known for small production and unique regional character.

Qvevri tradition

Clay vessels and texture

Qvevri winemaking ferments and matures wine in buried clay vessels, often giving texture and savoury complexity.

Native grapes

Saperavi, Kisi and more

Georgia's local varieties are central to its identity and give flavours rarely found elsewhere.
