Wine Artisans - Helios (Goruli Mtsvane) 2019 is a natural wine which spends one month on the skins and is aged in amphora.

Andro Barnovi is the founder of Wine Artisans, a boutique winery which usually produces not more than 1000 bottles per wine! 

The Terroir has a long and unlimited exposure to the Sun. The soil is a mix of heavy and light clay, incredibly rich of limestone, with really scant water sources especially after mid-July. They grow 15 different grape varieties in these vineyards, of which Chinuri, Goruli Mtsvane, Shavkapito and Tavkveri are dominant.

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.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES BY WINE ARTISANS

Wine Artisans is the small winery of Andro Barnovi, who came to wine from academia and politics. It is based in Tsedisi in Shida Kartli, in the Ateni area, with further parcels in Kakheti. The vineyards get long hours of sun on limestone-rich clay, with little water after mid-July. There are 15 grape varieties, mainly Chinuri, Goruli Mtsvane, Shavkapito and Tavkveri, plus rarities like Chkapa.

Andro ferments with wild yeasts and adds no sulphur. Many wines spend around seven months on their skins in qvevri, then a long rest in stainless steel, sometimes with a spell in oak. Runs are tiny, often just a few hundred bottles. Many are named after mythological figures: Helios is Goruli Mtsvane, Hecate is Tavkveri and Mithra is a Kakhetian blend of Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Kisi and Khikhvi. Narcissus pairs Chinuri with Muscat.
