History The story of our company begins in early sixties of the twentieth century namely in 1962, when one of the most powerful wine factories in the Soviet Union had been launched. That was the year of the 10th international congress of winegrowers held in Tbilisi. For years the factory remained an essential part of the Soviet winemaking industry (nine of ten bottles of wine sold inside the country and abroad was made in this very factory) and only started from the late nineties it had debuted as an independent wine company with new philosophy and approaches that still undergoes substantial changes on the way of further sophistication. Our Philosophy >We believe that we must be responsible for every bottle of wine made in our company. Consequently, we closely follow the whole process of winemaking from the vineyards to the consumer. Our aim is to create sophisticated wines that make difference. As one of the pioneers of the new Georgian winemaking history, we crave for the quality in the challenging times. We are convinced that our wines must be the carriers of the new winemaking philosophy that will take Georgian winemaking traditions further thus establishing and strengthening the image of the country with the millennia long winemaking tradition. Our First Harvest 1999 was the year of our first harvest. That very year we went to renowned Kakheti region with an eventual goal of starting it over. Our vision was to create the wines based on our new philosophy according to which grape was as essential as wine material. We wanted to make ourselves more confident by investing our funds and energy in every aspect and stage of the winemaking process. That's when we emerged with a new face and new brands that hit the Georgian market in the following year.
