Gruzia Imports

Wines from the Republic of Georgia

Gruzia is pleased to present an initial selection of six wines from the Republic of Georgia. Situated in the Cradle of Viticulture on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, Georgia has been identified as the birthplace of wine. We believe that you will find in each of our selections a fascinating combination of surprising and unique characteristics ready to captivate wine enthusiasts of all levels of sophistication.

“The flavors, textures, and experiences coming together in these wines are rarely seen together in such singular statements. They are refreshing, surprising, and bold.”
Katy Hayes, Sommelier
Tasting notes February, 2006

The wines themselves are incredibly different from each other, but they all have one strong hallmark: characteristics found in wine regions all over the world are combined here to create an identity unique to the Georgian wines. The Tetra, for example, has a sweetness that would often be found in a dessert wine, but it maintains the grace and lightness of a dry German Riesling; the Khvanchkara has the flavors of a dense California Cabernet, but the lithe sweetness of a white sweet wine.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions as you enjoy these wonderful wines.
