In the heart of Georgia’s winemaking region, Tezi Winery proudly upholds centuries-old traditions with its exceptional kvevri wines.
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Georgia, Tezi Winery stands as a beacon of tradition and excellence in winemaking. Rooted deeply in the rich cultural heritage of the region, our winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that honor the time-honored techniques of kvevri winemaking.
Kvevri winemaking, an ancient method dating back thousands of years, involves fermenting and aging wine in large earthenware vessels buried underground. This unique process allows for a natural, hands-off approach to winemaking, resulting in wines of unparalleled depth, complexity, and character.
At Tezi Winery, we meticulously select the finest grapes, including indigenous Georgian varietals like Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Kisi, to create our kvevri wines. Each grape is carefully handpicked and sorted before undergoing fermentation in our kvevris, where it interacts with the skins, seeds, and stems to extract maximum flavor and texture.
As the wine matures in the kvevri, it undergoes a gentle transformation, developing its unique personality and expression of terroir. Our winemakers closely monitor this process, allowing the wine to evolve naturally without the need for additives or intervention.
The result is a collection of kvevri wines that truly reflect the essence of Georgia’s winemaking tradition. From the robust and velvety Saperavi to the crisp and aromatic Rkatsiteli, each wine tells a story of our land, our people, and our dedication to preserving the legacy of kvevri winemaking for generations to come.
At Tezi Winery, we invite you to experience the magic of kvevri wines and embark on a journey through Georgia’s winemaking heritage. Join us in raising a glass to tradition, innovation, and the timeless art of crafting exceptional wines.
