Papari Valley is the family farm of Ketevan Gurabanidze; Shalva (Nukri) Kurdadze and their son Sandro. The first two hectares of vineyards were purchased in 2004 and they continued to add to the estate until 2010. The vineyards have been cared for according to certified organic requirements from the beginning. Vineyards and cellar are situated on the wavy relief of our sloping mountainside, resembling the mane of a horse for which Papari Valley is named. In Georgian Papari means "horse mane". That is why the horse is depicted on the logo, which was painted by Sandro when only 7 years old.

2020 Rkatsiteli Chinuri Qvevri #9.
Papari Valley Winery is situated at the intersection of three grand terroirs; Akhasheni, Mukuzani and Gurjaani. We built our marani/cellar in the middle of the vineyard. This wine is a blend of Rkatsiteli from our vineyard and Chinuri we source from vines we manage in neighboring Kartli. It was naturally fermented and aged in qvevri with the skins and stems for 3 months before being pressed into a clean qvevri and aged an additional 3 months before bottling. Blending Chinuri with Rkatsiteli allows us to make a gentle, less structured expression of our cellar. Unfiltered, sediment is probable. Decant and serve at cellar temperature. (Chinuri is a thinner skinned more aromatic variety common to Kartli a cooler more western local).
