The best wine for the best people

Chigogidze Wines — national Qvevri and traditional Classic wines

Alluring Georgia

What is Georgia all about? For one it’s mountains, their velvety slopes draped in silky white clouds, they take your breath away.

The people. They sing and cook soulfully, treasure their traditions, and are desperately in love with life. They open their hearts and their doors, welcoming all. Here you feel at home.

And, of course, the wine. Saturated with sunshine and air clear as crystal, these heartiest wines mirror the landscapes they come from.

Georgia is where, thousands of years ago, the art of making wine in huge clay vessels, called Qvevri, was born. We created Chigogidze Wines to share this art with the world.

The Art of Qvevri

Qvevri wines are part of Georgia’s Ancient heritage. Huge clay vessels are placed in the ground, filled with grape juice and pulp, and left to ferment. Insulated by earth, the vessels maintain a steady temperature, while limestone and precious metals present in the clay act as preservatives, sustaining the proper environment for the bacteria essential for fermentation. This delicate process requires great experience, attention, and inspiration. Each new batch of Chigogidze Wines is truly a work of art. Produced for over 8000 years, Qvevri wines have become a symbol of Georgian winemaking and are highly valued globally. They can be tasted in ethnic cuisine restaurants and wine bars around the world.

Geography

Chigogidze Winery is situated in Kavtishevi village, as is our private vineyard. We also purchase materials from Megreli, Racha, Imereti, and Kakheti regions for certain types of wine. We carefully monitor the growing environment and select grapes which are sure to become the best wines in the world. Otherwise, why do it?

Chigogidze Winery

We aim to revive rare or missing grape varieties such as Tavkveri, Shavkapito, Chinuri — and make them popular. We acquire lands whose soils and geographic locations.

The family have been making wines for decades picking and treasuring special recipes, mastering the subtleties of selecting materials and manufacturing process. Eventually the wines became highly appreciated by locals. Read more
