AKHMETA WINE HOUSE & KAIA WINERIES ✨ Akhmeta Wine House – Nature, Tradition & Pure Kvevri Wines Estate-bottled, skin-contact, six-month-macerated, artisan Kvevri wine from the heart of East Georgia—Kakheti, Akhmeta & Alaverdi Terroir! 🍷✨ At Akhmeta Wine House, we pour our passion into every drop! As proud members of the Natural Wine Association of Georgia, we've been crafting authentic, living wines since 2014. Our philosophy? Let nature lead the way! We cherish the land, the vines, and the rich biodiversity that makes each vintage unique. That’s why we’re deeply committed to organic farming and natural winemaking, ensuring every bottle tells the true story of our terroir. Certified organic? Absolutely! 🌱 Since 2019, our vineyards have held Bio Certification, and in 2020, our wines followed suit—all verified by Caucascert, Georgia’s only organic certification body, officially recognized in the EU and Switzerland. Nestled in a spectacular microclimate, Akhmeta benefits from three rivers—Ilto, Alazani, and Orvili—creating the perfect conditions for healthy, vibrant grapes. Our vineyards flourish at 500-550 meters above sea level, rooted in a fascinating blend of limestone, marl, and volcanic soils. Once part of PDO Kakheti, Akhmeta now shines with its very own PDO status, proudly recognized as PDO Akhmeta. Our vines tell a story of tradition and dedication: 🍇 30-year-old Rkatsiteli thrives in the Sabero terroir along the Orvili River’s south-east bank. 🍇 Kakhetian Mtsvane flourishes between the Alazani and Orvili rivers. 🍇 Kisi, Khihvi, Saperavi & Kakhuri Mtsvivani, planted 7 years ago in Alaverdi Monastery Terroir, now yield extraordinary fruit. We invite you to taste the essence of Akhmeta with our dry Kvevri amber wines, crafted with care and time-honored tradition: ✨ Kakhuri Mtsvane ✨ Rkatsiteli ✨ Kisi ✨ Khihvi ✨ Saperavi ✨ ...And coming soon, Kakhuri Mtsvivani! Nature, history, and craftsmanship—all bottled up for you. Join us in raising a glass to truly natural wine! 🥂 📧 nick@akhhmetawine.com 🌍 www.akhmetawinehouse.com ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ✨KAIA – Wild & Honest Georgian Wines Welcome to KAIA, where wine is wild, honest, and full of personality! 🍷✨ Born from friendship and a deep love for natural wine, KAIA took shape on a chilly January evening in 2023 over a bottle of Chkhaveri. What started as a sip became a dream, and now KAIA is all about letting the grapes (and a little chaos) do the talking. Our Philosophy We don’t do predictable—we do real wine: 🍇 Zero additives – no weird stuff, no shortcuts. 🍇 Hand-harvested grapes – because vines deserve respect. 🍇 Wild yeast fermentation – nature knows best. 🍇 Qvevri meets European techniques – ancient wisdom + curiosity. Our Vineyards – Where the Magic Happens 📍 Tibaani (Sighnaghi, Kakheti) – Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Rosé Rkatsiteli thrive in limestone-rich soils, under hot summers and crisp winters. 📍 Akhmeta (Near Alaverdi Monastery, Kakheti) – Kisi & Kakhetian Mtsvivani grow deep in loamy soils kissed by the Alazani River, bringing complexity and balance. The KAIA Collection Each bottle tells a story of soil, sweat, and spontaneous fermentation: 🍷 KAIA Red Blend – A bold mix of Rosé Rkatsiteli & Saperavi, skin-fermented for four days. 🍷 KAIA Amber & Rosé Wines – Wild, raw, and full of attitude, made using both Qvevri and European methods.
