Qvevri ქვევრი

Georgian wine at the Pferdemarkt.

Georgia looks back on around 8.000 years of winemaking. To this day, wine there ferments in the qvevri, a clay jar buried in the ground – a method that has been part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2013. On our shelves you will find 86 Georgian wines, plus chacha and brandy.

The method

The jar in the earth

A qvevri (ქვევრი) is an egg-shaped clay vessel in which wine is made, matured and stored. It is buried in the ground – where it stays evenly cool.

Sizes range from a few hundred litres to several tonnes. Building a qvevri takes around three months on average; it is then fired in a kiln of its own.

Diagram: how wine is made in a qvevri An egg-shaped clay jar is buried in the ground. The pressed grapes go in with their juice, skins, stems and seeds and ferment together. The jar is sealed airtight; underground it stays evenly cool – 13 to 15 degrees, according to the National Wine Agency of Georgia. White wine with such long skin contact turns amber: amber or orange wine.

  1. 01

    Everything goes in

    The grapes are pressed. Juice, skins, stems and seeds all go into the qvevri together.

  2. 02

    Fermenting in the earth

    Buried in the ground, the jar keeps a constant 13–15 °C, according to the National Wine Agency of Georgia. At first, it is stirred several times a day.

  3. 03

    Seal & wait

    Then the qvevri is sealed airtight. According to UNESCO, the wine matures for five to six months before it is drunk.

  4. 04

    Amber in the glass

    White wine that rests on its skins for so long turns deep straw yellow to amber – amber or orange wine, with fruity notes and gentle tannin.

Chacha – twice over

In a Georgian cellar, the pomace is called Chacha: the skins and seeds on which qvevri wine ferments. Georgian pomace brandy bears the same name – and you will find it on our shelves, too.

A wine category of its own

At Georgia’s suggestion, the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) recognised “white wine with maceration” as a category of its own in 2020 – orange to amber in colour, with noticeable tannin.

Not every Georgian wine is a qvevri wine. In our range there are 25 – they carry the mark Qvevri.

Supra – the Georgian feast

At a supra, wine takes centre stage. A tamada, the toastmaster, proposes the toasts; the guests take them up and carry them on – this is called alaverdi. In Georgia, the supra is recognised as part of the national cultural heritage.

We cultivate this way of sitting together at our wine tastings and at the table in the café-bar.

„The wine cellar is still regarded as the most sacred place in the family home.“
