Some wines change the world. This is one of them. Iago Bitarishvili is not just a winemaker — he is a pioneer. In 2009, when only five producers in all of Georgia were still making wine in Qvevri, Iago was one of them. Today, largely thanks to his tireless dedication and the extraordinary quality of wines like this Chinuri, over 80 producers have rediscovered the ancient Qvevri tradition. His winery was also the first in Georgia to receive organic certification for both vineyard and production. What you hold in your hands is not just a bottle of wine — it is a living piece of UNESCO-listed Georgian cultural heritage.
Grape Variety 100% Chinuri — a classic indigenous Georgian white grape from the Kartli region, grown on old vines and cultivated entirely by hand. Harvested and crafted in the same simple, honest way Iago's grandfather made wine — with nothing added, nothing taken away and nothing to hide.
Taste Profile Vibrant and refreshingly alive, with a captivating bouquet of stone fruits, delicate florals and subtle accents of mint and wild herbs. On the palate the wine is rich, layered and subtly earthy — structured and confident, with a pronounced natural acidity and a firm yet beautifully woven tannic structure. The finish is long and invigorating, with an unexpected and memorable hint of sea air that lingers like a memory.
Craftsmanship Crushed without destemming, the grapes ferment with skins, stems and seeds using native yeasts in Qvevri for two to three weeks. The vessel is then sealed with clay and buried in the earth, where the wine matures on fine lees for five to six months — undisturbed, unhurried and completely natural. The result is one of Georgia's most celebrated and recognised orange wines — pure, vibrant energy from one of the world's great living traditions.
Serving Suggestions Wonderfully versatile. Pairs beautifully with sausages, sushi, smoked dishes and fresh salads. Best served at 11°C. Alcohol: 13% — 750ml.
