Vachnadziani Krakhuna, Imereti

Georgia is considered to be the ‘cradle of wine’ as 8,000 year-old indigenous Rkatsiteli grape seeds have been found in clay vessels. Vachnadziani was established in 1953 and is one of the oldest wineries in Georgia. During the Soviet years the vineyard fell into disrepair, but now the vineyards and cellars have received considerable investment. The aim is to preserve their ancient wine culture while combining it with cutting edge technology. Delicate scents of lemon and banana lead to a clear and fresh palate with crisp flavours and a uplifting finish.
