Georgian grapes

Georgia is home to over 500 indigenous grape varieties, more than almost any other country in the world. This extraordinary diversity reflects thousands of years of cultivation, adaptation, and preservation in the birthplace of wine.

From the sun-drenched valleys of Kakheti to the misty slopes of Racha and the subtropical coasts of Samegrelo, each grape variety carries the distinct fingerprint of its terroir. These grapes are not just raw material, but living heritage, shaping the unique flavors and styles of Georgian wines.

Many of Georgia's native grapes are used in both modern and traditional qvevri winemaking, producing a wide spectrum of styles - from crisp whites to amber wines, bold reds to naturally semi-sweet treasures. Their resilience and character have earned them growing recognition on the global stage.

Exploring Georgian grapes is like traveling through time: each variety is a story of the land, the people, and the centuries-old culture of winemaking that continues to thrive today.
