    For many, the natural wine boom might seem like it came from nowhere. It might even seem like a fad. But the Republic of Georgia, home to the oldest evidence of winemaking in the world, has hosted a fierce debate over the future of low-intervention winemaking techniques for centuries. Georgia’s traditional qvevri method was declared part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2013 and is in the midst of a major renaissance.

Tsolikouri 2020 Baia's Wine
A vineyard selection of Tsolikouri by young woman winemaker Baia Abuladze, her sister Gvantsa, and her brother Giorgi. The west of Georgia is very humid. Accordingly, its indigenous varieties all tend to have higher acidity to survive the climate. Tsolikouri is the most-planted grape in the western region of Imereti and the single grape of which Baia has planted the most. All the fruit is estate-grown in the village of Obcha, hand picked, and hand sorted. After destemming the wine is pressed and put into qvevri with partial skin contact and fermentation starts spontaneously.

Kindzmarauli Teliani Valley
Kindzmarauli (Kinz-mah-rah-oo-lee) is one of the most well-known Georgian wines given its popularity in the Soviet period.
