In 2006, my husband and I, experienced and passionate about tending the vineyard and making wine, bought our first vineyard.
Today, my family owns a vineyard of 1 hectare and 2500 square meters in the rare micro-zones of Akhoebi and Tsarapi in the village of Kardenakhi, Kakheti. The Tsarapi and Akhoebi zones are situated on the low northeastern slope of the Tsiv-Gombor ridge, with a slope of 3-4°, Md. They are located on the right bank of the Alazani River at an altitude of 350-750 meters above sea level. This unique location is the main determinant of the distinctiveness of the Rkatsiteli and Saperavi vines grown in this area.
All members of the family are involved in the process of vine and wine care. Our aim is to produce natural wine using the old Georgian traditional method, which is why we do not use additives, pesticides, or herbicides in the vineyard. Additionally, the grapes are pressed by hand, which adds to the uniqueness of our wine. We do not use sulfur, and the wine is stored in a Qvevri on Chacha (stem and skin) for at least 6 months.
