Guniava Krakhuna

This direct-press Krakhuna has been aged for 9 months in Qveri, buried underground, in typical Georgian fashion. It is bright, lemon-scented, vividly fresh with amazing minerality.

Archil Guniava Wine Cellar and Vineyard are located in Zestaphoni, Kvaliti Village, at the family home, where generations of the family have lived. Vines are planted across 1.5 hectares of vineyards. This location provides excellent soil structure and a conducive climate for grapes.

Everything is fermented in old qvevris buried in the marani (cellar). Natural winemaking methods are naturally employed with native ferments and nothing added.

The climate in this part of Imereti is subtropical, warm rather than hot, and quite humid in the summer. The soils are clay over limestone, this latter feature giving the wines their particular freshness and vitality. Organic farming methods are practiced. Grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed into the beeswax-lined qvevri. Fermentations are ambient and take around two weeks to complete. All wines undergo natural malolactic fermentation and are bottled without filtration, fining or sulphur added.
