Grape sort of Rkatsiteli belongs to the Kakhetian family

of grapes. The wine-making process involves pressing

the grapes and then pouring the juice, grape skins, stalks

and pips into the Qvevri (Amphora-like vessel that is buried in the ground). Fermentation process is done inside the Qvevri. After malolactic fermentation is done, we seal Qvevries and wine is going through process of aging for another 4-6 month. Fermentation with skin rachis and seeds gives wine Amber color. Traditional Georgian method of making wine in Qvevries as Qvevri Wine is an intangible cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO.
