Background
A brand-new creation leading the way into a white semi-sweet chapter of the Tsinandali Estate collection. Named in honour of the last Queen of Odishi, daughter of Prince Alexander Chavchavadze.
Terroir
Tsolikouri, Tetra and Mtsvane grapes are cultivated in distinct plots across Tsinandali’s south-east-facing vineyards, nestled 600-700 meters above sea level. Surrounded by oak forest, these slopes feature well-drained clay-limestone soils that perfectly express the character of each variety within the Tsinandali PDO.
Viticulture
Our philosophy begins in the vineyard, where we believe exceptional wine is born in harmony between vine and terroir. Every detail matters - from the earthworms enriching the soil to the thoughtful care behind each vineyard practice. Through cover cropping and sustainable methods such as pest mating disruption, we nurture a balanced ecosystem where nature and the vine thrive together.

2024 Growing Season
The 2024 growing season in Tsinandali was one of contrasts - gentle spring rains, intense summer heat, and sudden autumn showers. The warmth of July and August hastened ripening, prompting an early harvest, while careful vineyard work preserved the fruit’s health and balance. Between bursts of rain, we found the perfect moments to pick, capturing grapes full of richness, vitality, and poise.
Vinificatiion
Juice from selected Tsolikouri, Tetra, and Mtsvane grapes underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13-14 °C, following the classical winemaking style. This gentle process allowed the vibrant aromas of citrus and white fruit to fully unfold, revealing the grape’s pure and expressive character.
