Kakheti, located in Eastern Georgia, is the country’s premier wine region, renowned for its use of qvevri winemaking—a UNESCO-recognized heritage method where wines are fermented and aged in large clay vessels buried underground. Gurjaani, a PDO subregion within Kakheti, is celebrated for producing expressive and structured Rkatsiteli wines.
