Traditional Georgian Winemaking at Wine House Gurjaani

The traditional way of making wine at Wine House Gurjaani is through the use of a conical clay vessel called a qvevri. During the wine-making process, the wine undergoes extended fermentation and maturation inside the qvevri. Whole bunches of grapes are run through a satsnakheli which is a wooden trough. The grapes are also foot trod so that the pips are not damaged. Following this, the must is run directly into the qvevri. Once the fermentation process is complete, the cap of the qvevri starts to sink. The lid is sealed with limestone clay and it is left in the ground until the spring which is typically in late March or early April. The wine is then separated and run into another qvevri where it is left for another year. The white grapes that are grown and used at the Wine House Gurjaani include Rkatsiteli, Mstvane Kakhuri, Goruli Mtsvane, Chinuri, Khikhvi, Kisi, Krakhuna, Tsitska and Tsolikouri. The red varietals that are used for the production of red grapes include Saperavi, Tavkveri, Shavkapito, Ckhkaveri, Ojaleshi, Aleksandrouli, Mujuretuli, Usakhelouri, Aladasturi, Otskhanuri Sapere, Dzvelshavi and Jani
