Koncho and Company LLC was founded on September 18, 2001, by JSC Corporation Kindzmarauli and has deep historical roots in Georgian wine culture. The company is dedicated to producing and selling wines of the highest quality. The name "Koncho" originates from the Old Georgian word for "cross" and also forms the basis of the family name Konchoshvili. This family has a rich tradition in winemaking dating back to 1737, when Kakhaber Konchoshvili, the royal winemaker of King Teimuraz II of Kakheti, established a wine cellar. Here, traditional Kakhetian wines and chacha, a Georgian brandy, were produced. The family’s wine cellar remained operational until the end of the 20th century, initially in the village of Sabue and later in Kvareli. The establishment of Koncho and Company LLC marked a continuation of this centuries-old tradition, with the mission of preserving authentic Georgian wine culture and offering high-quality wines to enthusiasts worldwide. The company owns some of the best vineyards in the classic microzones of Kindzmarauli and Kvareli. These vineyards are located on fertile land where the Duruji River once flowed. The presence of black slate and a high concentration of carbonates at a depth of 8-10 meters below the surface give Koncho and Company’s wines a unique character and distinctive taste that set them apart within the Georgian wine world.
