Our mission is to find the best synthesis of Georgian Qvevri and modern winemaking. We aim to preserve and save the most important - the idea of the Qvevri wine.
Winery & Vineyards “Papari Valley” is a family farm and is located at the Papris Mindvrebi (Papari Field) in the village of Akhasheni, district Gurjaani, Kakheti. There different appellation zones cross at this place: Akhasheni, Mukuzani and Gurjaani. Today the overall area of the vineyards is 9,3 hectares, from that 85% Saperavi and 15% Rkatsiteli.
The age of vineyards is 11, 19 and 46 years. Innovative Multiterrace system of qvevris is used in the cellar for the creation of wines: First time in Georgia in cellar the innovative system of 3 terraces of qvevri is used for the creation of wines: I and II terrace are situated in Marani, but the III terrace is situated in basement. I terrace is used for fermentation, II and III terraces are used for aging of wine and its transfusion. Transfusion of wine from one terrace to other happens by gravity force.
This method gives to the young wine a chance to develop in natural environment and prevent it from damage on microbiological level.
