TAZIA’S WINE

Kakheti, Georgia

Zura Mgvdliashvili, who currently serves as the head of the Georgian Natural Wine Association, has been making wine at his grandfather’s winery for years under the label Nikalas Marani. Tazia’s Wine is an offshoot project named for his uncle Tamaz, whose vineyards Zura has been working with for years. Zura is making very Kakhetian wines but with slight variations because of the particular location of his vineyards overlooking the Alazani valley on the southern slope facing the Caucuses.
