In 2003 the Winery “Prince Makashvili Cellar”, change its name in “Our Wine” in 2010, was founded by five persons with the purpose of producing high quality natural wine using old Georgian traditions of viticulture and wine-making. Today the cellar owns 5,5 hectares of vineyards, located in Kakheti Region, in the historically well-known Kardanakhi and Bakurtsikhe viticulture micro zone’s best terroirs: “Tsarapi”, “Akhoebi” and ”Uroebi”. These terroirs are located in Alazani river gorge, on the Northern slopes of Gombori mountain ridge, 320-400 meters above sea level and have eastern exposition. Ages of vineyards vary from 15 to 45 years. Density of stumps also varies from 3,600 to 4,800 stumps per 1 hectare. Since last year the winery Our Wine use biodynamic method of vineyard, before it was organic method. The yield is controlled and does not exceed 3 tons per hectare. Full cycle of wine production process takes place in old style Georgian cellar using traditional Kakhetian method. Fermentation, maceration and maturation take place in clay kvevri-amphorae of different sizes which are buried into the ground. The 4th of December 2013 the Unesco decided to enter this ancient wine-making Georgian method as World Heritage. The wines of the winery are really extreme, the fruit of the love for this beautiful land. The Rkatsiteli in particular is a very complex and intense wine: a white that does not forget easily, thanks to its special aroma and flavor.
