It's known, that UNESCO has identified Georgia as a birthplace of winemaking (8000 years back) and “Qvevri “ method of winemaking as unique. It has no analogues in the world. This is a natural and environmentally friendly method, which is recognized as one of the best and unique winemaking technologies.

Winery

Our winery is situated in a beautiful, historically important region of Kakheti - Gremi, a village which was the capital of Kakheti Kingdom (Eastern Georgia). From the 16th century Gremi was a well-known trade town in the world of its time, located on the Silk Road.

Here you may find various ancient architectural monuments: ancient churches, houses of feudal, sulphur baths, markets, caravanserai, etc. The winery and vineyards are surrounded by the Great Caucasus mountains and create special climate for our grapes.

Family History

Our family is one of those, who never broke the winemaking tradition and kept it through many generations!

Our ancestral winemaking dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Information about Mikha Khakhutashvili and his son Giorgi Khakhutashvili, known as "Kalakela," was preserved in Chenti. They were involved in winemaking and Chacha distilleries. Giorgi Khakhutashvili, a successful winemaker, died at the age of 33, leaving behind three sons: Shota, Elguja, and Temuri. We belong to Elguja's branch, and all three brothers have been engaged in viticulture and winemaking since childhood. Elguja, during his early years, managed the vineyard farm in Gremi area. This venture also laid the foundation for our cellar and guest house, which we are continuously expanding and improving.

Our Wines

Our vineyards are located in one of the unique terroirs in Gremi village, known as Royal vineyards, which are surrounded by the Great Caucasus mountains.

As said above, we have never stopped using traditional method of winemaking and still using “Qvevri” for the fermentation and aging process. Also we make green vintage to keep the grapes at a high quality. We don’t use chemicals neither in our vineyards nor in our wine, to keep it organic!
