Twins Wine House
Ancient art of wine making

The Brothers
Gia & Gela Gamtkitsulashvili
1994
In 1994, twin brothers Gia and Gela became the first in modern Georgia to commercially bottle a Qvevri wine. They restored their ancestor's 18th-century cellar in Napareuli village, reviving a lineage of winemaking that stretches back generations.
There are 135 qvevris in our winery. The smallest of these is 50 liters, and the largest reaches 5 tons. Twins Winery comprises 15 hectares of vineyard land, including 3 hectares of bio/organic vineyards. To make wine, the twins buy grapes from local growers, whose quality they personally check to get the best flavors. Twins Wine Cellar offers a wide assortment. Saperavi, Alazani Valley, Khikhiv, Kis, Kakhuri Green, Napareuli, Rose, Mukuzan and Kindzmarauli are made here. We also have chacha vodka and brandy. The first branded wine was "Qvevris Mze", (clay pot sun) which was named after the positive feedback of consumers. They often mentioned that our wine brings joy and warmth like the sun, which became the inspiration for our first brand.
The brothers approached Qvevri winemaking not only as craft but as science - studying its principles at a research level and developing innovations in traditional production.
