Otskhanuri Sapere, 2019

Simon Chkheidze Wine Cellar is located in Imereti (Western Georgia), in the village of II Obcha. The company was founded in 2008 by brothers Nugzar and Mamuka Chkheidze and is managed by the family. Nugzar and Mamuka named the company to honour their late father Mr. Simon Chkheidze – who was a well-known professional winemaker in the Western Georgia. The mission of the company is to continue family wine-making tradition of many years and promote Georgian wines worldwide. The organic vineyards are cultivated on 240-260 meters above the sea level, on the alluvial-carbonated soil, sloped from the East to the West. The soil and the vines are treated organically. At Simon Chkheidze Wine Cellar we produce red, rose and white wines from different varieties of Imeretian grapes grown in our own organic vineyards. Family has Tsitska, Tsolikouri, Krakhuna and Otskhanuri Sapere vineyards with the total area of 3 hectares in Obcha. Our vision of winemaking is to continue and honor Georgian ancient traditions by producing high quality natural wines in Qvevri.
