As the cradle of viticulture, Georgia abounds with micro-producers using Bronze Age technology to make wines from grapes that exist nowhere else in the world. Beka Gotsadze, the patriarch of Gotsa Family Wines located in the ancient and often inaccessible hill town of Asureti is one of those producers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHigher up the hillside, Beka runs a winery that is both staunchly traditional, but also not afraid of innovation. All of Beka’s wines are made in qvevri, the large clay vessel which gets buried in the ground. There he ferments his wines, made from the 13 different indigenous grapes he grows, as well as cider and a beer made with grape must, not to mention distills \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003echacha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e (the Georgian equivalent to grappa). The higher altitude helps with keeping fermentation cool, but Beka also employs some creative techniques to aid his winemaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gotsa-kartli-piquette-of-saperavi-conscious-exit-nv-750ml","title":"Gotsa Kartli Piquette of Saperavi Conscious Exit NV","description":"\u003cp\u003ePiquette is a low-alcohol slightly spritzy wine made from the second pressings of grape pomace, known to have been enjoyed by French farmhands and vineyard workers.
