WHY ARE WE SO EXCITED ABOUT GEORGIAN WINE?
Well, Georgia has a long and rich history of wine, with some of the oldest evidence of winemaking being found here, dating back some 8000 years. Known for an intense style of wine, characterised by extended skin contact and aging in massive amphora, known as ‘Qvevri’
Kept separate from most of the western world historically by its mountainous terrain, and in modern times, Soviet repression, we are only just fully beginning to understand the vinous riches the country has to offer. However, we do have Georgian influence to thank for some of the great skin-contact wines of the world, such as those made by Josko Gravner and Giusto Occhipinti who after visiting Georgia, brought back the traditional Georgian Qvevri vinification to draw inspiration for their own winemaking.
La Cabane have put together an absolute face-melting line up of Georgian bottles for our little Khachapuri party, and we cannot wait to rip some corks with you this weekend.
