Qvevri Wine Cellar Mtsvane is an authentic Georgian amber wine, made from the aromatic Mtsvane grape. This wine is produced according to the traditional Qvevri method, where fermentation and aging take place in clay amphorae buried in the ground. This process gives the wine a complex and powerful character, with a perfect balance of fruit, spiciness, and structure.
Grape Variety and Vinification
The Mtsvane grape is one of the oldest and most valued white grape varieties in Georgia. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before being fermented in Qvevri. During fermentation, the skins remain in contact with the wine for several months. This gives the wine its characteristic deep amber color and layered tannin structure. After fermentation, the wine continues to age in Qvevri, developing its unique depth and complexity.
