In the last century, my ancestors planted a small vineyard of Saperavi grapes in the village of Tokhliauri in Kakheti. From then on, the foundation was laid in our family for pressing wine in a qvevri.

One year, the grapes were not harvested on time and the grapes were left to wither in the vineyard. Pressing the withered grapes yielded an interesting result: we got a wine with a completely different taste and aroma. It was radically different from the usual qvevri Saperavi in ​​its structure, alcohol content, and, most importantly, taste. This is how the idea of ​​producing a new type of wine was born.

In 2004, we established a large vineyard in the village of Tokhliauri, 650 meters above sea level, and in 2016, the first wine was created under the “Dekanozishvili” brand, incorporating many years of experience in making wine from dried grapes.

I hope it will find appreciation among you too and will earn a place among the chosen ones.
