Georgian wine PDO
Discover Georgia's diverse terroirs and winemaking traditions
About Georgian PDO
Georgia is home to a remarkable number of Protected Designations of Origin (PDOs), reflecting centuries of winemaking tradition and the country's extraordinary diversity of grape varieties. PDOs are official appellations that guarantee the origin, quality, and authenticity of wines, linking them to specific regions, soils, and climate conditions.
Each PDO tells a story of its land and people. From the rolling valleys of Kakheti to the mountain slopes of Racha and Lechkhumi, these regions have nurtured grapes that produce wines with unique flavors, aromas, and textures. PDO regulations help preserve these traditions while ensuring that modern consumers can trust the wine's quality and authenticity.
Georgian PDOs cover a wide range of styles - from crisp whites to robust reds, from dry to naturally semi-sweet wines, and including both qvevri-aged amber wines and European-style vinifications. This diversity showcases the richness of Georgian viticulture and its status as the cradle of wine.
Exploring Georgian PDOs is more than just tasting wine - it is a journey through history, geography, and culture. Each PDO captures the essence of its region, offering a window into centuries of winemaking knowledge and a taste of Georgia's unique identity.
