Meet Makashvili Wine Cellar Kisi, a masterful creation that stimulates the senses and delights the taste buds. This exquisite wine originates from the Kakheti region of Georgia, an area renowned worldwide for its rich wine tradition. Located in eastern Georgia, this region offers ideal conditions for viticulture with its mild climate and fertile soils. What makes Kakheti truly special is the ancient tradition of qvevri winemaking, resulting in unique and distinctive wines such as Kisi. The Makashvili Wine Cellar Kisi is exclusively produced with Kisi grapes, an indigenous variety that has been cultivated in Georgia for centuries. The Kisi grape thrives in the Kakheti region and gives the wine its distinctive character. The wine is made according to ancient Georgian winemaking traditions. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are carefully placed in large clay amphorae, known as qvevri, which are passed down through generations. The grape juice ferments with the skins, and the fermentation process occurs naturally, without the use of artificial yeasts or sulfites. The wine then ages further in the qvevri. With an elegant alcohol content of 13%, the Kisi is a refined choice for wine enthusiasts.
 

This rich, amber-colored wine captivates the senses with an abundance of aromas. Ripe peaches, apricots, and various stone fruits blend harmoniously with subtle hints of aromatic herbs and almonds. The wine offers a balanced combination of well-integrated tannins, refreshing freshness, and a delightful taste experience on the palate. The finish is long and fruity, leaving you undoubtedly craving another sip. This wine is exceptionally versatile and pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes. Try it with white meat, fish dishes, vegetable dishes, and cheese. To fully bring out the flavors, serve the Makashvili Wine Cellar Kisi at a temperature of about 14-18°C.

The rich history of Makashvili Wine Cellar dates back to the 15th century, when the noble Georgian family Makashvili established their own vineyard and winery. The delightful wines of Makashvili were even served at royal courts, earning them special fame. Unfortunately, over time, the winery fell into decline due to the impact of several wars. But fast forward to 2012, the year the Makashvili wine cellar, or "marani," was rediscovered and fully restored. Today, this winery is known for its deep dedication to preserving the ancient Georgian winemaking traditions and crafting exceptional qvevri wines. These wines are made in ancient amphorae, which play a central role in Georgian wine culture. The winemaking technology at Makashvili Wine Cellar combines both traditional Kakhetian winemaking and modern insights. It is almost unimaginable to envision traditional Georgian winemaking without the presence of qvevri. The ancient method of making wine in these clay amphorae, dating back around 8,000 years, is a true cultural heritage of the country and represents Georgia in a unique way. Vaziani, as the heir to this extraordinary qvevri winemaking tradition, continues this legacy with honor and pride, respecting the past while looking to the future.
