About Chona's Marani

Mikhael Chonishvili and his wines are some of the rising stars out of Kakheti. Please pay attention to the thoughtful wine making here. His amber wines are sourced from estate grown and organically farmed vineyards in the Tsinandali micro-zone. All whites see 6 months of skin contact in qvevri and then 3 months of fine lees aging in stainless steel. Very serious wines.
