Growing up in soviet Georgia, with no easy access to transportation, Zurab used to walk 8 km uphill and back with his father to take care of the vineyards. Such hard work and commitment made him “think a lot about grapes and what it means to make traditional Georgian wine.”
Inspired by the past, Zurab acquired quality education outside of Georgia and returned to his hometown, Telavi, one of Georgia’s oldest wine regions. He continues traditional Georgian Qvevri winemaking just like his ancestors did, with an added sparkle of curiosity. “I’m always trying to find something new and provide something new to people,” says Zurab in our interview as he explains different approaches in making wines from Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Mtsvane grapes.
