Background
Inspired by a poem by Galaktion Tabidze and a beautiful legend associated with it, Natella is a unique blend exclusively produced by Tsinandali Estate.
Terroir
Kisi, Khikhvi, Mtsvane, Tsolikouri, and Tetra 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.
Vinification
Juice from all five carefully selected grape varieties was collected in stainless steel tanks, where fermentation took place over several days at a controlled temperature of 13-14 °C. After fermentation was complete, the young wine rested on its lees for two months, gaining depth, texture, and subtle complexity.
