Manifesto

   Knowing that the tradition of wine making in kvevri is a several thousand year old world heritage of culture, it is our aim to cultivate and preserve this precious tradition so that it may be passed on to future generations.

We believe that the kvevri-wine tradition is providing potential creative capacity that ought to be uncovered, because it offers a chance to overcome the present crisis at the wine market.

We are certain that kvevri-wine culture and ecology complement each other. Therefore we have come to the conclusion that all activities in our vineyards should be conducted in an optimal way and in consideration of ecological awareness.

This means:

Biological diversity of the vineyard.

No systematic pest management supplements, no herbizides, no synthetic fertilizers.

Producing by hand should be of prior importance.

We believe that kvevri produced wine must reveal the characteristic features of the relevant grape variety and area of cultivation. In order to achieve this, we have agreed to manipulate the process of fermantation and mazeration as little as possible, i.e. we will neither apply any substances or methods that would contradict the character of the wine, nor will we use any means or wine cellar techniques that would change the taste or the aroma of the wine.

Therefore we have set the following goals:

We wish to hand over to the next generation healthy, vital, and productive vineyards. We also want to present to the wine enthusiasts a special kind of wine that features not only its typical grape variety in taste, aroma and alcohol content, but will also enable the connoisseur to detect the natural vitality of the wine.
