The wine

Description and technical sheet

Agrida Khikhvi Qvevri 2019 is a dry white wine from eastern Georgia made from the native Khikhvi grape. Fermentation and ageing in traditional clay qvevri lie at the heart of this bottling's identity.

Khikhvi in the Kakheti vineyards

The vineyards are in Kakheti, between 450 and 550 metres above sea level, on sandy-loam soils with yellow or brown alluvial clay. These deep, well-drained soils provide the setting for a local grape still relatively unfamiliar outside Georgia.

From hand picking to qvevri

The bunches are selected in the vineyard and picked by hand. Both fermentation and ageing take place in qvevri, so traditional earthenware shapes the wine through both cellar stages. It is a distinctive approach to Georgian white winemaking, different from wines made entirely in stainless steel.

Discover a different Georgian white

A rewarding choice for discovering Khikhvi or adding a new variety to a tasting of Caucasus whites. The 2019 vintage has 12% ABV and comes in a 750 ml bottle. It is made without added sulphites, although naturally occurring sulphites are present.
