In Georgia, where the winemaking tradition spans 8,000 years, qvevri wine holds a special place. This ancient method, which is inscribed on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, is not just a wine production process, but a part of Georgian identity.
The qvevri, a large clay vessel buried in the ground, gives wine a unique taste and aroma that cannot be found anywhere else. When grapes ferment in a qvevri, they acquire complex notes of earth, minerals, and fruit that together create a distinctive character.
For tourists, tasting qvevri wine is an essential part of traveling in Georgia. At our shop, Wine Store Orbeliani, we offer you the opportunity to discover this ancient tradition and taste authentic qvevri wines produced in small wineries throughout Georgia.
Why is qvevri wine so special? First, it's a natural process. No chemical additives, just grapes, their skins, seeds, and stems fermenting together. This gives the wine rich tannins, intense aromas, and a long finish.
Second, qvevri wines are beneficial for health. They contain antioxidants, polyphenols, and other beneficial substances that promote cardiovascular health.
Third, it's a cultural experience. Tasting qvevri wine allows you to feel part of a Georgian feast, just as it has been happening for centuries.
In our store, you can taste qvevri wines from different regions: Kakheti's heavy and tannin-rich red wines, Imereti's light white wines full of fruit aromas, Racha's semi-sweet wines known for their harmonious taste.
We also offer tasting tours for small groups, where our sommeliers will introduce you to the history of Georgian wine, the production process, and teach you how to evaluate wine aromas and flavors.
If you are a wine lover and want a special experience, visit Wine Store Orbeliani, where centuries of tradition come alive in your glass.
