2023 Chelti Kakheti Kisi

Chelti is a family-owned and operated winery nestled in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia. Georgi Mirianashvili, who left his banking career and the capital city of Tbilisi behind back in 2001, and moved to Shilda, the village of his wine-loving ancestors, to pursue winemaking. Mostly traditional in his approach, Georgi’s many of Georgi’s wines are aged in qvevri, however other wines will see oak or stainless steel. The grapes are all hand-picked, and wild yeast fermented. Not only is the farming sustainable, but the winery is planning on transitioning entirely to solar power in the near future.
