WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Kindzmarauli Betaneli involves the careful management of fermentation for the Saperavi grape. To achieve its characteristic semi-sweetness, the fermentation process is halted through cooling and filtration, thereby retaining the natural residual sugar present in the grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested, with vineyard management focused on quality. The wine is produced within the Kindzmarauli appellation, adhering to traditional methods associated with this specific Georgian wine style.
