Importer notes from Ghvinos Wines:

"Chateau Mere is a signature line within the winery Winiveria, established in the Alazani Valley by George Piradashvili in 2014 as part of the prestigious Château Mere destination winery and resort complex at the gateway to Georgia’s premier wine region. The winery collaborates with local growers and a nearby cooperative to produce high quality wines made in both traditional Georgian and classical European styles.

Production notes:

Following hand-harvest and crushing, grapes were fermented on skins for one month in qvevri. Aging and stabilization followed for a full year prior to release. The winemaking process for ​Saperavi uses traditional ​Georgian Qvevri, large earthenware vessels buried in the soil, for fermentation and aging."
