Mshvenieradze Winery - Giorgi, David & Soso Mshvenieradze
Mshvenieradze Winery is a small, family-owned winery (1000 bottles wine in year). We are from Tskhentaro, a village in Imereti region, situated in Zestaponi municipality, Georgia. Ajameti forest which surrounds the village from the south noticeably affects its air and terroir. Tskhentaro, as a distinguished wine-producing village, has been on the map of Imereti wineries since 19th century.
Our ancestors, like of all other families in the village, used to make wine in “Churi” (that is what we call clay pitcher in Imereti). Winemaking in Imereti is somewhere in between the traditions of European and Kakhetian winemaking - so, we put up to 30% of wine on grape skin.
