Mshvenieradze Wines Tasting and Dinner

120.00 

Mshvenieradze Winery is a small, family-owned winery from Tskhentaro, a village in Imereti region, situated in Zestaponi municipality. Ajameti forest which surrounds the village from the south noticeably affects its air and terroir. Tskhentaro is 25 km away from Kutaisi, Baghdati and Zestaponi. Tskhentaro, as a distinguished wine-producing village, has been on the map of Imereti wineries since 19th century.

Mshvenieradze vineyard is about 1.5 ha – and one part of it is already 80 years old. From white grape varieties,  you will find Tsitska and Tsolikouri there, while  Dzelshavi and Otskhanuri Sapere are proud red ones.

Giorgi Mshvenieradze takes care of the vineyard the same way his ancestors did. His ancestors, like of all other families in the village, used to make wine in “Churi”. Winemaking in Imereti is somewhere in between the traditions of European and Kakhetian winemaking – “So, we put up to 30% of wine on grape skin.​What are we like? – We are like our wine. What is our wine like? – The way we are.”
