My great-grandfather made wine in western Georgia. In the early 20th century our family moved to Tbilisi (Georgia’s capital) but continued making traditional wines. Our current cellars are in Kiketi, 1300m above sea level, where history says the Georgian Kings had their favorite wines vinified. Our vineyard is located 10 km from the winery in the “Algeti” National park, 550 mt. above sea level.
