Description

Terra Georgia Mukuzani is a Georgian dry red wine made from 100% Saperavi. The grapes for this wine come from the Mukuzani micro-zone of the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia. Mukuzani is situated on the banks of the Alazani River

Terra Georgia was co-founded by Archil Chitadze, and some friends from his student days, as a small, artisan wine producer making just two or three different Georgian wines. The company is located in Atskuri near Telavi, the main city and administrative center of Georgia’s eastern province of Kakheti. Quite soon Terra Georgia won an award from the Georgian Rural Development Agency. With the money they were able to scale up production allowing them to process up to 200 tons of grapes and released 11 different wines in 2022. Terra Georgia have vineyards in the Telavi, Mukuzani and Kindzmarauli micro zones and the wines are produced by Winery Bakhrationi.

The emphasis is on producing quality wines. The wines are produce using Qvevri (traditional, clay wine-making vessels)  and traditional Georgian wine-making techniques whereby only indigenous yeasts are used and both red and white wines are aged on the skins. A variety of red wines is produced including fresh and fruity Saperavi wines through to heavier, richer styles. They also produce a semi-sweet red wine from the Kindzmarauli region. There are fresher styles of white wines and richer “amber” wines, the preferred term for orange wines in Georgia. 

Terra Georgia Mukuzani is made from 100% Saperavi. Saperavi is probably the most famous, and most important red grape variety in Georgia and it used to make many varying styles of red wines from light and fruity through to heavier dark reds. It is a “teinturier” grape, that is a red skinned grape which also has red flesh. This is actually quite rare amongst red skinned grapes and Saperavi, along with Alicante Bouschet, are probably the two of the most famous. Indeed, Saperavi means “dye” in Georgian, alluding to the dark coloured wines it can produce.

Terra Georgia Mukuzani is made in the traditional style but is also aged in oak.
