When you think of wine, countries like France, Italy, or Spain might come to mind. But have you ever considered indulging in a glass of Georgian wine? Hailing from the country of Georgia, this wine is noted for its distinctive taste, rich history, and its traditional winemaking process. At Vinovoss, we offer an array of Georgian wines that will entice any wine enthusiast. But before you explore our collection, let's dive deeper into the world of Georgian wine.

The History of Georgian Wine

Georgia, often referred to as the 'cradle of wine', has a wine history that dates back over 8000 years. Wine production has been an integral part of Georgian culture and identity. The traditional Georgian winemaking method, which involves fermenting and storing the wine in clay vessels known as 'Qvevri', is listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. Georgia's unique wine grape varieties, such as Rkatsiteli and Saperavi, are largely unknown to the rest of the world but offer a refreshing departure from the typical wine grape varieties.

The Unique Taste of Georgian Wine

Georgian wine is known for its unique and diverse flavor profiles. From full-bodied red wines with strong tannins to crisp and aromatic white wines, there's a Georgian wine to satisfy every palate. The Qvevri method of winemaking also contributes to the wine's distinct flavor. The process involves fermenting the wine with its skins and seeds, resulting in a wine with a deep color, complex flavors, and a high level of antioxidants. For instance, the Georgian white wine Rkatsiteli, fermented in Qvevri, takes on an amber color and a flavor profile that includes dried fruit, honey, and walnut.
