Andronikashvili’s Marani

Andronikashvili's Marani is located in the Papari Valley near the village of Akhasheni, Gurjaani Municipality, in Georgia's Kakheti region, at 460 meters elevation between the Chermiskhevi and Papriskhevi rivers. The family traces its lineage to Byzantine Emperor Andronikos I Komnenos, who settled in Kakheti after exile from Constantinople, and modern vineyard restoration began under Guram Andronikashvili. The estate farms 7 hectares of exclusively organically grown grapes using dry farming, producing Saperavi, Rkatsiteli and Kisi wines.
