Akhmeta Wine House is rated 3 out of 5 in the category wine and spirits. Read and write reviews about Akhmeta Wine House. “Akhmeta Wine House" was established in the year 2014. We think that it's important to maximize the protection of the vineyard, grape and wine ecosystem, biodiversity, natural biological cycles and the biological processes. Based on what’s mentioned above, we are fixed on organic farming and natural wine production. Nowadays we are beneficiary of CAUCASCERT , the only one Georgian company, which offers its customers certification of organic products. Their certificate is legally recognized in Georgia, the European Union and Switzerland. CAUCASCERT Ltd has been accredited according to ISO-17065 by the German accreditation body DAkkS. It has been included in the list of third-country equivalent organic certification agencies (please, refer to EC regulation 1330/2016). Since last year our vineyards are Bio certified and from next year our Wine, vintage 2020 will be certified too. (http://caucascert.ge/en/operators/operators-register). Akhmeta is distinguished by a remarkable micro climate ensuring perfect grape ripening conditions. Our Mtsvane, Saperavi and Rkatsiteli vineyards are located at the junction of 3 rivers -Ilto, Alazani and Orvili. At the year of 2015 "Saperavi", "Khikhvi" and "Kisi" varieties are planted at the terroir of Alaverdi Monastery. At the end of October, grapes were hand-harvested in small boxes, hand sorted in our Marani (cellar), lightly crushed into historical Georgian clay vessels Qvevri (or Kvevri) buried in the winery's earthen floor. The fermentation was performed by natural yeast, found on grape skin. After some long, up to 6-month maceration, the wine is decanted and transferred into another Qvevri for aging. Our “Orange” wines are reach with phenol compounds and tannins. They are characterized by high antioxidant properties due to the specific Georgian technology of Qvevri winemaking. All our wines are estate-bottled.
