GOGO WINE
Artana
Kakheti
Gogo Wine is a venture from Ketevan Berishvili. Both her parents are musicians from Tbisili. Her father eventually decided to move out of the city and re-located to the village of Artana where he started growing grapes and making wine. Ketevan, would always come out to help her father and slowly fell in love with wine.
After years of working in a bank, she decided to change her life and to dedicate fully in making wine. It was finally in 2015 that she made her first wine independently from her father and with the help of some friends, creating Gogo Wine.
’Gogo Wine’, translates to ‘Girl Wine’ , promoting and symbolising the potential of women in Georgia’s wine industry, which it is still very much male dominated.
Keti, is devoted to producing wines that are true to the place and are made with respect for nature. Winemaking techniques are very traditional, with an emphasis on manual practices, such as foot treading.
This winery is located in the Napareuli microzone, which is nestled between the foothills of the Tsiv-Gombori mountains and the Alazani River. The eastern Kakheti region in this area is fertile for the cultivation of several rare grape varietals.
She currently owns 7.5 acres of land and works with indigenous varieties such Mtsvane, Rkatsiteli and Saperavi.
Artanuli Gvino is the name of project started by her father in 2006 in the same village of Artana. All the vineyards are farmed organically in black shale and limestone soils. We currently stock their 2019 Saperavi.
