As she believes the wine should be made in Kvevri, she says: “working with clay, working with Kvevri is a remarkable emotion. The clay breathes and and gives life to wine. The moment grape juice hits the bottom of Kvevri, my family and I keep our fingers on pulse. We listen to it breath, controlling the fermentation temperature. In family we keep a turn, we stirring due to keep Chacha on the surface from drying out. Such a close contact, almost conversation with the wine is the main charm of Kvevri”.
