ABOUT WINE
Goruli Mtsvane is an endemic variety from Kartli region of Georgia. The name means "green one from Gori", a city located in Kartli. Not to be confused with mtsvane from Kakheti which is an entirely different variety! Goga Tevzadze, the winemaker at Tevza, is on a mission to explore, preserve and promote indigenous varieties from Kartli but with his own spin.

This is a wine that loves food AKA our favorite kind of wine!
