Some wines carry history. This one carries legend. According to Georgian tradition, Tamaris Vazi — literally "Queen Tamar's Vine" — was the favourite wine of Queen Tamar the Great, the legendary ruler who led Georgia through its Golden Age between 1100 and 1245, a period of unparalleled cultural and political greatness. For centuries this wild vine was thought lost forever, its vines growing untended in the volcanic mountain forests of South Georgia, forgotten by the world. Giorgi Natenadze found it again. And now, for the first time in centuries, you can taste what a medieval Georgian queen once loved.
Grape Variety 100% Tamaris Vazi — an ancient and almost mythical wild Georgian grape variety, named after Queen Tamar herself. Handpicked from century-old wild vines — some estimated to be between 100 and 400 years old — growing freely in the volcanic mountain forests of Samtskhe-Javakheti at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,650 metres above sea level. One of the rarest wines on earth.
Taste Profile Refined, elegant and deeply complex on the nose — opening with aromas of red currant, pomegranate, a whisper of leather and petrichor, the unmistakable scent of rain falling on dry earth. On the palate the wine is soft, rounded and gently spiced, with elegant natural acidity that carries through to a long, gloriously satisfying finish. A wine unlike anything else in the world.
Craftsmanship Crafted without added yeasts, this 2018 vintage ferments naturally in Qvevri — ancient Georgian clay vessels buried underground — before being transferred to stainless steel tanks after six months and naturally filtered without intervention. Every step of the process honours the wild, untamed origin of the grape. Production is extremely limited — making each bottle a genuinely rare find.
Serving Suggestions A wine worthy of a special occasion. Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game, aged cheeses and earthy mushroom dishes. Best served at 14–16°C. Avoid direct sunlight.
