The Occupation of Lasha Guruli’s family wine cellar “Enkeni” in the field of wine production is linked with the year 2015. Wine-making is the family’s traditional occupation which is hereditary and lasting. However, it has obtained the form of wine production for 2 years now. The main part in it was played by the Wine Festival, where our marani wine “Tsitska-Tsolikouri 2015” entered the list of The 100 Best Home-made Wines. Currently, the brand “Enkeni” consists of 4 types of wine: “Tsitska-Tsolikouri 2015”, “Tsitska-Tsolikouri 2016”, Tsitska 2017 and Dzelshavi 2017 the pitcher wines. The vineyards are located in the West Georgia, namely in Imereti, the village “Akhalterjola”. The vineyard is looked after utilizing the traditional methods and the means of drug (insecticide) spraying. The 200-year-old pitchers are kept in pitcher places which still maintain the quality. This wine was made by the pure Imeretian technology. The wine fermentation took place together with the 20 % ‘’Chacha’’ ingredient. For 3 month, the wine-making occurred on “Chacha” and the sediment. Only after that the wine was displaced into the pitchers again and kept until pouring into bottles. The name “Enkeni” has two symbolic meanings. First of all, it comes from the word ‘’Enkenistve’’, which is the folk name of September month. In this month, the “Rtveli” (harvesting) takes place in the most regions of Georgia. Thus, the ‘’Rtveli’’ and September symbolically maintain the relationship. The second symbolic meaning is directly linked with the village of “Akhalterjola” and the forgotten tradition of it. Annually, at the end of the month September – the 26th, the public holiday of “Enkenoba” was celebrated that reflected the initiation of Rtveli.
