Kortavebis Marani's 35 Varieties Rose is a co-fermentation of all 35 indigenous grape varietals planted together on a 2.5-hectare vineyard in the village of Gremi, Kvareli Municipality, in the Alazani River Valley of Kakheti. Winemaker Tamuna Bidzinashvili planted the varieties as a living library of Georgian viticultural heritage, with the blend including Rkatsiteli, Kakhuri Mtsvane, Kisi, Saperavi, Khikhvi, and dozens of rarer heirloom varieties.
The grapes are harvested together, pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in traditional Georgian qvevri — egg-shaped clay vessels buried in the cellar floor. The wine ages for 12 months in qvevri, then is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfite addition (35 mg/L). No chemical additives are used at any stage. All vineyard work is organic.
The result is a deeply colored rose that behaves more like a light red: red and black fruit aromatics, earthy spice, and integrated tannin from the qvevri contact. The low natural alcohol (around 10.5-11%) keeps it fresh and drinkable without sacrificing structure or complexity. It is one of the few wines in the world built from 35 co-planted and co-fermented native varieties in a single field.
