Mikheil Chonishvili is the head winemaker here but shares the love and passion for wine making with his entire family. Mikheil brings a new vision to his family's generations-old traditions. Mikheil is fiercely devoted to natural and ancient wine techniques.
All the wines are made in qvevri with minimal intervention and small amounts of sulfites. This wine is sourced from his family vineyard in Mukuzani which is farmed organically and sustainably. A lovely Kakhetian wine.

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.
