Prince's vision
French technique
Soviet survival
Prince Ivane Bagrationi-Mukhraneli wasn't content with just drinking flat juice, so he brought French sparkling secrets to Georgia in the 19th century. He saw the high-acid grapes growing in Kartli and realized they were destined for fizz. Since 1882, the Mukhrani estate has been fermenting bubbles, blending French technique with indigenous local soul to create a sparkling legacy that survived Soviet standardization and emerged victorious.

Why it's special
Indigenous grapes
European method
Perfect acidity
Most people assume everything here comes out of a clay jar, but this style uses endemic grapes like Chinuri and Tsitska which naturally scream for carbonation. It combines that raw, ancient genetic material of the Cradle of Wine with the refined, technical precision of classic European sparkling production. You get the wild character of the Caucasus tamed into elegant, dancing bubbles.

Imagine a place where wine has been flowing for 8,000 years, buried underground in big clay pots. This is the heartbeat of Georgian winemaking, producing styles that range from crisp whites to grippy, tannic ambers.

West of the Surami Range lies a land where wines embrace a zesty kick. It is less heavy on the tannins than its eastern neighbor, focusing instead on vibrant whites and crisp, energetic sparkling options.
