Third vintage, we had a little more confidence in the vineyards where we get our fruits and our winemaking practices.

​

Thanks to a good friend in Champagne, Antoine Bouvet, we have a new press at the winery, and it makes everything much easier with a better pressing quality.

​

For “Revoir un printemps” and “Laora” we got a little of Dzelshavi coming from the same vineyard of our Chkhaveri in Imereti.

​

We also took decision to change our vineyards for Saperavi and Rkatsiteli.

We picked our Saperavi from Khashmi, a cooler terroir which will suit better our Semi-Carbonic style for Nita.

​

And we got our Rkatsiteli from an iconic terroir Uroebi.

The vintage was a bit similar to 2017, less richness and maturity in Imereti, allowing more freshness and less alcohol in the wines.

​

Kakheti was relatively warm but very healthy while Kartli remained the same as always, slow maturation, fresh and complex.

​

Overall 2019 was the best harvest we experienced so far…

Hopefully the wines will follow our promises …

Big thanks to the harvest crew : Simone from Italy and Anais from France
