A wonderful palace in Eastern Georgia hung from above the Gombori ridge, is surrounded by the amazingly well-cared vineyards on the edge of the village Vazisubani. It is the most beautiful and the richest region of Kakheti (Eastern Georgia), where the grape harvest was kept in huge Qvevri (vessels made out of clay buried in the ground to make and store wine). Still, at the end of 19th century the Vazisubani estate was developed by a young aristocrat (Tavadi – a feudal title in Georgia) Sulkhan Chavchavadze.
The history of Khvanchkara wine began centuries ago. The oldest methods of Rachan (Western Georgia) winemaking were perfected in the 19th century with the help of Rachian nobles Dimitri and Luarsab Kipiani, which is how the well-known Kipiani Wine was created, nowadays known as Khvanchkara.
The main challenge for the Royal Khvanchkara wine company was the revival of the rich culture of Rachan winemaking and the preservation of the knowledge and experience which had been gained throughout the years. The company now honorably continues that unique tradition. Vineyards planted on carefully selected areas and thoroughly cared for, sophisticated technology and professionalism makes up the secret of Royal Khvanchkara’s fine and velvety wine.
