The valley
Kakheti is the eastern end of Georgia and the Alazani is its floor.
01What terroir is
Four things the place decides
Terroir is everything a place gives the vine.
01
Climate
Sun, temperature, rainfall, humidity.
02
Soil
What the ground is made of.
03
Relief
Height, slope and which way it faces.
04
Surroundings
Water, forest, hills and wind.
02Where
The floor of the Alazani
To the north the Greater Caucasus rises straight out of the plain.
03The harvest
By hand, from the vine to the bottle
We pick the grapes by hand.
04The season
Hot days, cold nights
The valley bakes through the day and drops sharply after sunset.
