7 months on skin for this Rkatsiteli & Mtsvane wine. With all Georgian wines, do not serve chilled, and allow to breathe for best results. These wines are stable and should hold a good few days once open, improving greatly with time.

Zurab Mgvdliashvili's grandfather Nikala already built a small marani and cultivated wine in 1928 in Kardenakhi on the right bank of the Alazani river.

At that time, Soviet trains were still running in Kakheti and the property was in the centre of the village directly opposite of the railway station. The ravages of time didn't stop there either, only a ruin of the station still reminds of the old times...

When Zurab took over the property in 2005, not much more was left than the old foundation.

As a tribute to his grandfather and the long family tradition he restored everything in loving detail and kept the old name, Nikala's Marani. He bought up small vineyards in first-class locations, until he was able to dedicate himself completely to wine production.

Despite the constantly growing demand for his wines, he only wants to grow to the point where he can still control everything himself, because otherwise it would no longer be the wine pressed by his own hands.

Up to 10,000 bottles of wine are produced annually on a 5 hectare area.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES FROM GEORGIA

Georgian wines come from two main winemaking regions - East and West - both offering their own distinct style. In the East, particularly in places like Kakheti, the wines tend to be stronger with a tannic structure that improves with age. Grapes like Rkatsiteli, Kisi, Saperavi, and Mtsvane dominate here. Over in the West, wines made from grapes like Tsitska and Tsolikouri are much more delicate, as seen with producers like Baia’s Wine.
One of the key traditions in Georgian winemaking is the use of qvevri—large clay amphoras buried in the ground. This technique involves pressing whole bunches of grapes and letting them ferment with skins and stems for extended periods, typically around six months. The result is a wine with unique texture, richness, and structure. Recently, though, some producers have started moving away from traditional methods, aiming for softer expressions of the native Georgian grapes. Producers like Iberieli, Ori Marani, and Lapati are leading the way in this style.
Georgian wines are often best served a bit warmer, with some wines opening up beautifully at room temperature. Decanting is also a great idea. Many of these wines maintain their freshness for days after opening, and they tend to age well in the cellar, rewarding patience.
Explore and taste Natural Georgian wines from amazing producers like Natenadze, Jakeli, Lapati, Iberieli, Baia’s Wine, Wine Artisans, Chona’s Marani, and more.
