The company operates two wineries both equipped with modern equipment which allows Tbilvino to produce 6.5 million bottles annually. The main Tbilvino winery rests in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia’s eastern Kakheti region, famous for its history of wine production and rich climate for winemaking. The winery overlooks the fertile Alazani River Valley while a second winery is in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last two decades, following Georgia’s hard-won independence, Tbilvino has been transformed into one of the most dynamic, open-minded, large producers of Georgian wine. A team of experienced winemakers, indigenous Georgian grape varieties, a mix of modern and traditional fermentation methods allows Tbilvino to be unique in the creation of a wide range of wine styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTbilvino have, like many other large producers, adopted the use of qvevri with enthusiasm.

Here Rkatsiteli grapes, from eighteen-year-old vineyards in Kakheti, are crushed and the juice, skin and pips are put into clay amphorae (qvevris), which are then hermetically sealed and buried underground, where fermentation takes place. The qvevris conical shape allows yeast and sediment to settle to the bottom and the wine to circulate around the vessel. When buried underground, the clay-amphorae maintain a constant temperature, much like a modern temperature-controlled tank. After approximately five months they are dug up and the wine is racked off. The time on the skins gives the wine an amber colour, whilst also changing its flavour and texture. This wine has rich apricot flavours, alongside notes of beeswax and walnuts. The finish combines a lively acidity with a subtle tannic grip, making it the perfect accompaniment to food.[#intro]A unique and rare amber wine made using a traditional Georgian 'Qvevri'...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tbilvino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31435908612163,"sku":"A22TBILVINOQVEVRIS-1","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/Orange_Wine.jpg?v=1582752044"},{"product_id":"tbilvino-saperavi","title":"Tbilvino Saperavi 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tbilvino Saperavi (sa-per-ah-vee), appropriately meaning “dye”, is probably Georgia’s best-known red grape variety. It is renowned for its deep colour and tannic structure, which comes from the dark skins and pink flesh. The grapes for this wine come from vineyards in the Vachnadziani sub-region of Kakheti, planted on alluvial soils. The grapes were harvested by hand, before being pressed and undergoing alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Once complete, thirty percent of the wine is passed to French oak barrels to age for between one and two months. Made in a fruit-forward style, this wine highlights the grape’s typical floral aromas, alongside bold flavours of forest fruits.
