Reviving Meskheti’s ancient wine heritage through rare indigenous grapes, wild vines,

and authentic wines rooted in history and place.

I’m Giorgi Natenadze — a researcher and pioneer (a “pilot”) of Meskhetian winemaking, reviving forgotten terroir through living vines. I craft limited, small-batch wines from century-old wild vines that grow in the forest on their own roots, climbing 15–25 meter fruit trees. These are among the most natural and truly organic wines you can find: pure, minimal-intervention expressions made from unique, endemic Meskhetian grape varieties. Forest-born, wild-vine wines — rare, authentic, and impossible to replicate anywhere else.

After centuries of disruption and loss, Natenadze Wine Cellar represents the first winemaking endeavor in Meskheti since the 16th century. Our mission is to rediscover, study, preserve, and multiply ancient endemic grape varieties and to express the authentic voice of Meskheti through wine. Natenadze Wine Cellar is based in the historic region of Meskheti (Samtskhe–Javakheti), Georgia. Founded by Giorgi Natenadze, the winery is dedicated to reviving one of the world’s oldest yet nearly forgotten winemaking regions.

All wines are produced using traditional Georgian qvevri methods, with zero intervention, from wild and foraged grapes grown entirely by nature.
