ALL THE LITTLE ANIMALS MUST LIVE THEIR LIVES! NO FILTRATION, NO STABILIZATION. PATIENCE = STABILITY LIVE, KEEP COOL. 


“Our family vineyard, in the Asureti Valley of Kvemo Kartli, is fantastic! I planted it in 2012 with 14 different Georgian grape varieties. There are no other vineyards for kilometers. We are Demeter certified and have only farmed our vineyards according to biodynamic principles and our own “forest philosophy”. We take from the vineyards only juice, even skins and stems return to the vineyard to be composted. Our marani/cellar is in the Kiketi Mountains. The cool conditions are perfect for wine making! Wild fermentation happens in traditional Qvevri: large buried earthenware amphora. We let the microorganisms do their jobs and they give us REAL wine.”
