About this wine

Erekle, on the back label: “Like the countless generations before us in Georgia, I believe the rhythm of the moon cycle and the stars has an essential influence on life and therefore wine. Each of my wines is named for the cycle or vision that influenced me. I believe the feminine energy of harvest moon and celebrating agricultural fertility gives us opportunity to reflect on how to live our lives.”
A red qvevri wine made from selected Saperavi grapes grown in the estate vineyards in the Kindzmarauli micro-zone of Kakheti.

About Begaso

Erekle Bejitashvili is a young and new winemaker coming from a viticulture background. His family organically farms 20 ha of vineyards in Sabue, a unique terroir inside of the Kindzmarauli micro-zone on the northern bank of the Alazani river. His wines are rich and and extractive takes on traditional Kakhetian varietals. Great curiosity and value.
