Wine — Kvemo Kartli, Georgia

Shavnabada Monastery Winery continues Georgia’s centuries-old winemaking tradition. The monastery’s wines are crafted by the monks using ancient Georgian winemaking methods, with great care and dedication.

The grapes are pressed in a traditional wooden wine press, after which the wine undergoes natural fermentation and is aged in qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground. Once matured, the wine is bottled, preserving the unique character of traditional Georgian winemaking.
