“Akhmeta Wine House", a member of Natural Wine Association Georgia, was established in the year 2014. We think that it's important to maximize the protection of the vineyard, grape, and wine ecosystem, biodiversity, natural biological cycles, and biological processes. Based on what’s mentioned above, we are fixed on natural farming and natural wine production. At the same time, we are the beneficiary of CAUCASCERT, the only one Georgian company, which offers its customers certification of organic products. Their certificate is legally recognized in Georgia, European Union, and Switzerland. CAUCASCERT Ltd has been accredited according to ISO-17065 by the German accreditation body DAkkS. It has been included in the list of third-country equivalent organic certification agencies (please, refer to EC regulation 1330/2016). Since the year 2019, our vineyards and from the year 2020 our Wines are Bio certified.
Our Bio-certified vineyards are located in Kakheti Region, at the Akhmeta micro zone, on the exceptional Terroir of Orvili, Ilto and Alaverdi Monastery, near to the city of Akhmeta. At the end of October, grapes were hand-harvested in small boxes, hand sorted in our "Marani" - Wine cellar, lightly crushed into historical Georgian clay vessels Qvevri buried in the winery's earthen floor. The fermentation was performed by natural yeast, found on grape skin. After the long, up to 6-month maceration, the wine is decanted and transferred into another Qvevri for aging.
Estate bottled Natural Amber dry wines are rich with phenol compounds, and tannins, and they are characterized by high antioxidant properties due to the Ancient Georgian traditional Qvevri wine-making method. Skin contact, six-month-macerated, and aged in Qvevri Artisan natural dry wine was bottled unfiltered.
