🍇 Estate Wines from the Birthplace of Qvevri Winemaking

Giuaani’s wines are a celebration of Kakheti’s terroir and ancient traditions. The winery cultivates indigenous Georgian grape varieties, including:

• Mtsvane of Manavi – a crisp, aromatic white with floral notes

• Rkatsiteli – often vinified in qvevri for amber wines

• Khikhvi – rare and expressive, used in both dry and semi-sweet wines

• Saperavi – a bold, inky red with exceptional aging potential

Guests are invited to explore both qvevri and European-style wines, crafted using state-of-the-art facilities that sit beside 19th-century cellars.
