Vinification

Kvareli is a high-quality wine due to the soil and microclimate of its specific zone, which is surrounded by the Caucasian Mountain in the north and the Alazani Valley in the south. In order for the wine to achieve this high quality, the harvest regulation begins from the initial stage of cutting. During the cutting process, all damaged and injured grape bunches are removed. Finally, the unripe (green) grapes are picked so that only one bunch is left on each shoot. This green vintage decreases the harvest by 50%, however this process greatly increases the quality of the wine.
Once the grapes are ripe, the healthy bunches are selectively picked by hand; this takes place at the end of September and beginning of October.
Classical fermentation of must, with halting on must after 3 weeks of fermentation; followed by malolactic fermentation and refinement in barrels for 1-3 years.
