Silicon Valley offices or the vineyards in Georgia? Downtown skyscrapers or quiet cosy home?
A history book, popular science podcast, or embarking on a journey with a glass of fine wine?
Opening the first bottle of this wine set, you'll embark on a journey through Georgia, the homeland of wine.
Tasting set, journey set, time-leap set.
​
Perfect for hedonism in the company of friends on Christmas Eve.
Three wines. Two technologies:
— Traditional Georgian method of winemaking in clay vessels buried underground
— Classic European method in oak barrels
​
Take a sip, and you'll find yourself there.
RKATSITELI QVEVRI
— orange (amber) dry wine from qvevri
With gentle moves, the master shapes the Qvevri — a huge, person-sized clay vessel for aging wine. It's meditation, art, and the poetry of Georgian craftsmanship. This vessel will give birth to wine.
​
Buried underground in the marani cellar, the underground coolness maintains the perfect temperature, spontaneous fermentation, skin maceration, and wild yeast.
​
Technology gives the wine its life, and the master stirs the must constantly to ensure the fermentation process. No one performs such labor with more reverence than Georgian winemakers.
​
The bottle then travels half the globe to your doorstep, bringing you dry amber wine - incredibly fruity, and aromatic.
The traditional Georgian method of winemaking, Qvevri, is a UNESCO cultural heritage site. Our winery Koncho&Co has been making wine in Qvevri since 1737, preserving the original technology.

SAPERAVI QVEVRI
— dry red wine from qvevri
This is Kakheti. Saperavi vines have been here for over 65 years. Koncho&Co winemakers handpick grapes while the master crafts qvevris — no more than 8 per month.
​
The wine matures in qvevri for six months, then spends another six months in oak barrels before reaching you.
​
Beautiful ruby color with a burgundy hue, a complex aroma with hints of black mulberry and cherry. Soft tannins, gentle acidity.
​
Now it's in your glass, and the first sip will envelop you in a pleasant, long-awaited, healing warmth.
​
The taste will be familiar if you love "Zinfandel" and "Grenache."
KVARELI
— red dry wine, European method.
15 months in French oak barrels for a taste and aroma richer than any billionaire. Kvareli is made from Saperavi grapes, handpicked and fermented using the European method before aging in oak barrels.
​
Full-bodied. Rounded.
An ideal match for "Syrah" lovers.
Perfect with a meat dish.
​
The 2018 vintage was awarded a gold medal at the international competition - Mundus Vini 2020.

​
To savor, discuss, and compare — do you prefer amber? red? European red? — let this tasting evening elegantly conclude the year 2023.
