DETAILS:
This wine produced since 1942, is the nation’s leading semi-sweet red wine, in terms of quantity and individuality. Just one sip of our company’s Kindzmarauli is enough to remember if forever. The peculiarity of soil consisting of remnant black shale plays major role in the taste. This black shale washed down by the Duruji river has a high propensity to retain heat, which by increasing the temperature of the soil also increases the sweetness of the grapes and the quality of the wine.
WINE MAKING PROCESS:
We pick the selected grapes at 24-26% of sugariness and 75-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing the clear juice is removed from the sediment and moved into fermentation reservoirs. We add the pure culture yeast. The fermentation proceeds at a low temperature of 18-22°C. As soon as the sugar level goes down to 7-5% during the fermentation, we cool it down to 3 degrees to stop fermentation and store it at -2-3°C degrees after filtration.

Georgia is rightly called “The cradle of wine”, reaffirmed by UNESCO in December 2013, when the oldest Georgian method of wine making in Qvevri was inscribed in the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of the humanity.
Georgia boasts more than 500 varieties of indigenous grapes, nearly one-sixth of the world’s grape varieties, including endangered varieties found nowhere else on Earth.
We are happy that we can offer fine Georgian wine in the UK from Dugladze, one of the best producers available on the market.
