The story of „MartaliWine“ began in 2016 when a Georgian and a German friend embarked on a journey to restart the Bitskinashvili family´s rich tradition of winemaking and take it to contemporary standards in terms of quality and quantity. The name „Martali Wine“ embodies our philosophy and attitude towards wine and viticulture, which was best expressed by Georgia´s national poet, nobleman and philosopher Ilia Chavchavadze. In his 19th century´treatise on winemaking´, Ilia expressed his conviction that a „true“ and authentic wine must only be produced by employing the traditional Georgian methods and minimal outside intervention.
