Relentless improvement has been part of Telavi Wine Cellar from her very foundation, which continues to this day. Contemporary technologies, including stainless steel insulated tanks, pneumatic presses, gentle movement pumps, and a comprehensive temperature control system, coexist alongside oak vats, barriques, and traditional Georgian clay vessels known as Qvevri, which are buried in the earthen floor of our esteemed cellar, which we call our Marani.
Freshly picked grapes are received in our processing room, which is linked to the wine filtration and stabilization area in the east of the winery. The western part contains cellar itself, with white wine settling and fermentation, barrique and storage areas. Outside, just in front of the great cellar the fermentation tanks for red wine are situated, along with the tanks for skin maceration. These are used for storage during winter months, for the purpose of wine stabilization within the nature's embrace.
To the east of the Main Cellar are our bottling and refrigeration rooms with insulated tanks for low temperature storage during the long summers. Our latest infrastructure project is nearing completion, and construction of a new two-story wine cellar has been finished recently. This new building will hold our reception area, more room for oak barriques, where red and white wine will mature in constant temperature and humidity. In front of entire modern production facilities one will find our historic Marani cellar, estate, where our offices are located, a small plot of vineyard and an evergreen garden for one to stroll and soak in all that is the magnificent Alazani Valley.
