Winiveria Khikhvi Qvevri - (Unfiltered) 2019- produced using “Qvevri method.” A Qvevri is a uniquely Georgian creation, a large subterranean clay jar, in which wines are fermented and matured on both skins and stems. This gives Qvevri wines a dimension of flavour and aroma not found in other wines.

Incredibly smooth
Incredibly smooth and delicious! Not usually a fan of white wines, but these orange wines are amazing!

Love this wine
It was my first Georgian wine ever and I loved it.
It tastes very fresh and light and I just love the aftertaste. There is no heaviness some Australian wines have. I actually bought couple of bottles of red wine. Can't wait to try them later :) Highly recommend...

excellent wine
Why did I have to wait 60 years until someone told me about one of the best wines in the world.

Beautiful wine.
Not my first purchase of this wine. I've gone through 4-5 bottles now, it's fantastic.

Versatile, well rounded, delicious, great colour.

Definitely give it a shot if you're unsure.
