ABOUT THIS WINE
Chateau Lipartiani is a premium dry red wine produced by Winery Khareba in Georgia. The brand name honors the prominent historical Lipartiani family, a cadet branch of the House of Dadiani who ruled the Salipartiano fiefdom in western Georgia since the Middle Ages. The label's reference to the 'IX Century' traces back to the medieval figure of Liparit in the 9th Century. Sourced from the prestigious micro-zones of Kakheti at the foot of the Caucasus mountain range, this wine represents the pinnacle of Winery Khareba's international-style portfolio, marrying Georgia's ancient viticultural heritage with modern European winemaking traditions.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes, consisting of Saperavi and a small portion of Aladasturi, are hand-picked in September at optimal phenolic ripeness. Unlike traditional Georgian wines fermented in clay Qvevri, Chateau Lipartiani is crafted in a modern European style. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks under the guidance of consulting winemakers from Bordeaux and German cellar master Ingo Simon. The wine is then aged in premium French oak barriques for 8 to 12 months prior to bottling, enhancing its structure and complexity.
