Makashvili Wine Cellar Khikhvi 0,75 ltr 12%

Considered the cradle of viticulture, Georgia is where the foundations for the production of qvevri wines were laid according to age-old Georgian traditions. At Makashvili Winery we proudly reflect the rich history of qvevri winemaking, with deep roots in the family of Prince Makashvili. The finest qvevri wines were originally made from grapes grown on the estate of this noble family. It was an honor to serve these delicious Georgian wines to venerable guests visiting the Kakheti region. Today, as an enterprise founded by descendants of this family, we are praised for maintaining the highest standards in qvevri wine production, appreciated by experts and fine wine enthusiasts alike. This dedication has led to numerous prestigious international recognitions. The age-old tradition of qvevri winemaking, which dates back as far as 8,000 years ago, is held with great respect. Vaziani Winery is a proud custodian of this rich cultural and historical legacy. The Makashvili Wine Cellar, which belongs to Vaziani, has its roots in the historic Makashvili estate dating back to the second half of the 15th century. In the cellar of the winery are qvevri barrels that are more than 120 years old and were discovered during the restoration in 2012. Out of about 200 qvevri barrels discovered, only 39 could be saved from damage. The wines are crafted with love and dedication according to the traditional qvevri method in these centuries-old barrels, and they are only produced in limited quantities. These wines have received worldwide recognition and appreciation.
