THE ESSENCE OF GEORGIAN WINEMAKING TRADITIONS

Vinifera Georgia-Where Georgian Winemaking Traditions Flourish

Vinifera Georgia, a family-run winery, was established in 2019 in the village of Tsinandali, Kakheti, Georgia, but its legacy spans generations. The passion for natural native wines has been passed down through generations, inspiring to create exceptional wines that honor the heritage.

Rooted in a legacy spanning generations, the journey of the winery began with Naskida, the great grandfather of a founder family. He fell victim to the 1936-1938 Great Purge operation carried out by the Soviet Union but his spirit endured, passing down cherished Georgian winemaking traditions and Zedashe Culture. His name is forever intertwined with the winery’s narrative.

Fueled by a passion for native Georgian wines, Vinifera Georgia was officially established in the idyllic village of Tsinandali, Kakheti, Georgia. The objective was to pay homage to the family’s heritage while acquainting the world with the splendor of Georgian winemaking. The vineyard thrives under the watchful gaze of the Caucasus-Georgia sun. The winery prioritizes quality and consistency, employing conscientious practices in cultivating Saperavi and Rkatsiteli grapes. The dedication to preserving the land and respecting nature compels the winery to employ environmentally friendly vineyard treatments, ensuring the grapes flourish without compromising their integrity.
Drawing from ancient Georgian winemaking techniques, our wines are crafted without harmful chemical additives. By fermenting the wine in contact with the skin for months, we imbue it with tannic characteristics, bold flavors, savory notes, and an exquisite long finish. Each sip reveals the essence of our terroir, taking you on a sensory adventure through the captivating flavors of our homeland.
