Georgia — a country infused by a spirit of change
Georgia
lies where Europe and Asia meet. Its topography is varied and its
history checkered. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) counts the
country among the 238 most important ecoregions on earth. With its
sheltered valleys, Georgia has proven fertile in the development of
plants and animal species that can be found nowhere else on the planet.
On his travels, wine connoisseur Burkhard Schuchmann discovered Georgia and its longstanding wine tradition.
He soon recognized the potential of the Caucasus-sheltered grape varieties such as Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Ojaleshi, and Kisi — to name but a few — from which great wines are made. Having traveled countless kilometers across Kakheti and surveyed scores of vineyards along with viticulturists and other experts, he worked out a plan to both ensure and even enhance to European standards the quality of Georgian grapes by applying “sustainable wine-growing and wine-aging methods”.
