Description
The word “Koncho” in Old Georgian means “a cross” and is the stem of the word denoting the Konchoshvili family name. The history of the Konchoshvili wine cellar dates back to 1737 when the royal cellarman of Kakhetian King Teimuraz II main winemaker Kakhaber Konchoshvili founded a wine cellar where the traditional Kakhetian wines and varieties of chacha were produced and sold, and which was functioning until the end of the 20th century, first in the village Sabue, then in Kvareli.
Koncho and Company owns the best vineyards in the classic / traditional microzones of Kindzmarauli and Kvareli viticulture. The vineyards are laid out in the valleys / on the land plots where the Duruji River used to run, so the soil is very rich in black shale, with a high concentration of carbonates below the depth of 8-10m from the earth’s surface, which completely distinguishes the wines of Koncho and Company from all others. The wines of Koncho and Company are sold in 15 countries around the world and have a high reputation and credibility everywhere.
The strategy of Koncho and Company LLC is to find and cultivate extinct and endangered Georgian indigenous vine varieties and produce the exclusive wines from grapes harvested in these vineyards.
Koncho and Company LLC is fully focused on producing and selling the elite wines, popularizing Georgian vine varieties and wines around the world.
The company’s slogan is “Of the utmost Quality”, which is constantly upheld.
Tsinandali is the zonal name of one of Georgia’s most popular PDOs (for a classically fermented blend of Rkatsiteli and Mstvane), but at the centre of the PDO lies the historic estate of Tsinandali, originally founded in the 19th century by Prince Alexander Chavchavadze, and about to bottle its 175th vintage. This qvevri white is a pure Rkatsiteli, barely deeper than gold in colour, with scents of walnut and beeswax polish. There’s quiet apricot fruit as well as walnut on the palate, and gently textured tannins. Graceful, poised, elegant and fresh.
