From the historic vineyards of Kakheti, Marani’s Satrapezo Mtsvane 2022 is a beautifully structured qvevri amber wine that captures the essence of Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

Fermented and aged on skins in buried clay vessels, this wine delivers both texture and depth, while maintaining a refined, modern balance. It sits comfortably alongside premium natural wines, yet offers a more polished and consistent expression — ideal for customers exploring orange wine at a higher tier.

Produced in small quantities from estate-grown fruit in Kondoli, this is a wine that speaks of place, tradition, and craftsmanship — a natural fit within a curated Georgian collection.

Wine Making Process:

At the end of September the grapes were hand-harvested in small boxes, hand sorted in our winery, gently de-stemmed and lightly crushed into historical Georgian clay wine vessels Qvevri, buried in the winery’s earthen floor. The fermentation was performed by natural yeast, found on grape skins. During the whole process of fermentation cap management has been performed only by hand punching, thus overall mechanical impact on grape skins has been minimized and soft extraction and integration of skin aromas has been ensured. After the long 6 month maceration in Qvevri, the resulting golden colored wine was decanted and transferred gently into traditional new oak barriques for 10 months further maturation. Coarse filtration was complemented by bottling and bottle aging in our cellar before the release.
