Vinification of the Glekhuri Kisiskhevi Saperavi Qvevri from Teliani Valley Winery

The grapes are fermented together with their skins, contributing to the intense aromas and silky texture. After fermentation, the wine matures in these Qvevris, allowing it to develop its unique properties and find the harmonious balance between fruit and tannins.

Overall, the following steps are part of the production process:

1. Hand-picking of Saperavi grapes
