Georgia is rightly called “The cradle of wine”, reaffirmed by UNESCO in December 2013, when the oldest Georgian method of winemaking 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.
