Makashvili Wine Cellar Kisi is a masterpiece that tantalizes the senses and indulges the taste buds. This delightful wine hails from the Kakheti region in Georgia, an area globally renowned for its rich wine tradition. Situated in Eastern Georgia, this region provides the perfect conditions for winemaking, with a mild climate and fertile soils. Kakheti is particularly famed for its ancient tradition of qvevri winemaking, resulting in unique and distinctive wines like Kisi. Makashvili Wine Cellar Kisi is exclusively crafted from the Kisi grape, an indigenous variety cultivated in Georgia for centuries. The Kisi grape thrives excellently in the Kakheti region, imparting its specific character to the wine. The wine is made following age-old Georgian winemaking traditions. After a manual harvest, the grapes are placed in large clay amphorae known as qvevri, some of which are centuries old. The grape juice ferments with the skins, and the fermentation occurs naturally, without the addition of artificial yeasts or SO2. The wine further matures in the qvevri. Regarding alcohol content, Kisi boasts an elegant 13% alcohol, making it a refined choice for wine enthusiasts.

Description

Winery

The history of Makashvili Wine Cellar dates back to the 15th century when a Georgian princely family named Makashvili established their own winery. The delicious wines of Makashvili were even served at royal courts during that time. Unfortunately, after multiple wars, the winery gradually fell into disrepair. But let’s fast forward to the year 2012 when the Makashvili marani (wine cellar) was rediscovered and fully restored. Today, this winery is known for its dedication to preserving centuries-old Georgian winemaking traditions and crafting exquisite qvevri wines made in ancient amphorae.

The winemaking technology of the winery is based on both traditional Kakhetian winemaking and historical expertise adapted to modern developments. It’s hard to imagine traditional Georgian winemaking without a qvevri. The ancient method of fermenting wine in qvevri, which is approximately 8,000 years old, is one of the cultural treasures of the country and its hallmark. The company has its own wine cellar, and its history begins at the Makashvili estate from the latter half of the 15th century. Vaziani is the heir and successor of the special qvevri winemaking technique of Makashvili.
