Georgia Ancient Centre of Viticulture and Winegrowing. Scientists recognize Georgia as the centre of viticulture and winegrowing development. Country, where a man first cultivated wild wine, squeezed out a grape and made a wine. From the end of VII millennium B.C. here we find cultural vine stones, wine making marks and artly processed vessel with vine clusters , 10 million years old prints of wild wine reed and leaves, 15 years old fossilized vine caulis.
Nowadays, there are more than 500 grape varieties in Georgia, which is the World viticulture and winemaking treasure. Our factory is located in Georgia’s southeast- in KAKHETI. The famous scientist A. Sanikidze writes about Kakheti’s soil: “There are humus-carbonate soil, which gives high quality production(wine). Everyone, who knows Kakheti’s winegrowing, highly estimates Axasheni’s, Chumlaki’s, Uriatubni’s, and Tsinandali’s classical wines.” Kakhuri wines are famous for humus – carbonate soils. Also together with physical and chemical structure, these soils have high structure of lime.
