Papari Valley

Papari Valley wine estate lies in Kakheti in eastern Georgia. Nukri Kurdadze bought 2 ha of vineyards in 2004. More land was added over the years, and with over 9 ha he now counts among Georgia's larger producers. He runs the estate with his wife Keti and son Sandro.

The main grapes grown are Saperavi and Rkatsiteli, the country's two most important indigenous varieties. The first wines were made as early as 2007, although these were still experiments rather than wines ready for sale. By 2015, the time had come: with sufficient experience and knowledge acquired over the years, the family could begin marketing its wines.

Nukri Kurdadze combines modern Western cellar technology with his homeland's ancient wine knowledge. All his wines undergo the so-called Kakhetian method. For both white and red wines, the grapes are placed with their stems in Georgia's traditional clay vessels, qvevri, and then ferment on their skins for several months. All wines ferment spontaneously and are treated as little as possible. They are neither fined nor filtered and receive only minimal sulphur before bottling.
