Château Mukhrani - Qvevri Blanc 2016
Château Mukhrani is located in the Mukhrani region, in Georgia. In 1512 Château Mukhrani became the estate of the prince of the governing royal family Bagrationi. Mukhranian wine production was established by Ivane Mukhranbatoni a famous representative of royal family, political and public figure of the 19th century. During the Soviet time, Château Mukhrani was abandoned and almost destroyed. In 2002, a group of businessmen, Frederik Paulsen, Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze laid basis for restoration of the project of Château Mukhrani. Group intended to revive the estate to its former glory and re-establish production at Mukhrani, combining modern and traditional technologies. Since 2007, Château Mukhrani is making wine from grapes (local endemic and international varieties) harvested in its own 102-hectares vineyards.
This wine is a blend of local Georgian grape varieties Goruli Mtsvane and Rkatsiteli. The grapes macerate on their skins in Qvevri for 5 to 6 months.
