Artevani 2023 Kindzmarauli Organic Red Wine – Georgia
🍷 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Historic Georgian Red, Naturally Sweet by Nature
The Artevani 2023 Kindzmarauli is an authentic expression of one of Georgia’s most celebrated wine styles — a naturally medium-sweet red wine made exclusively from Saperavi grapes grown in the prestigious Kindzmarauli microzone of eastern Georgia.
Produced from organically farmed grapes in the renowned Saradishvili vineyards, this wine reflects centuries of Georgian winemaking tradition, where sweetness comes not from addition, but from nature itself. Thanks to Saperavi’s naturally high sugar and acidity, fermentation is halted naturally, preserving residual sugar while maintaining balance, freshness, and structure.
Artevani’s philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention, organic viticulture, and respect for terroir, resulting in a wine that is expressive, honest, and deeply connected to place.

🌍 STORY & PEDIGREE
Kindzmarauli is one of Georgia’s most protected and revered wine appellations, located in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains along the Alazani River. The unique climate and soils allow Saperavi to achieve exceptional sugar concentration while retaining acidity — a rare combination that makes true Kindzmarauli possible.
Artevani honors this legacy by crafting wines that are true to place, grape, and tradition, offering a modern expression of a wine style that has been enjoyed in Georgia for generations.
