Description

Wine House

Established in 2014 by esteemed winemakers Giorgi Tsirghvava and Mamuka Tsiklauri, the DoReMi Wine Cellar pays homage to Georgia’s illustrious winemaking heritage. With an unwavering commitment to organic practices, they meticulously source grapes from vineyards scattered across the diverse landscapes of Kakheti, Kartli, and Imereti.

At DoReMi, tradition reigns supreme, with all wines crafted meticulously using the ancient kvevri winemaking method. These large clay vessels, nestled in the cellar, form the essence of their winemaking process. No additives are incorporated, and there’s no intervention in filtration or clarification, except for a minimal addition of sulfites. It’s noteworthy that each Georgian region has its own distinctive customs for producing natural wines in a kvevri. For instance, in Kakheti it is customary to ferment grapes in a kvevri along with the skins, sometimes even including the ripe stems. Conversely, in the eastern Kartli region, winemakers often opt to use only a fraction of the grape skins and avoid fermenting the stems altogether.

DoReMi proudly associates itself with the Natural Wine Association.

Enter the captivating world of the Ocho wine collection, where ancient customs blend with the conservation of endangered species. In Georgian folklore, Ocho is revered as the guardian of forests and wildlife, embodying nature’s raw magnificence.

Gracefully adorning the labels are Georgia’s beloved fauna, serving as symbols of the struggle faced by those on the brink of extinction. As you savor the wine, crafted using the esteemed kvevri fermentation technique, and ponder upon these mystical creatures, you’ll embark on a journey into the profound mysteries of life.
