- Natural wine is made from organically grown grapes, without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or preservatives. The grapes are harvested by hand to minimize damage to the berries
- While artificial yeasts are used in the production of conventional wines, fermentation of natural wine occurs only through the yeasts and bacteria that live on the skin of the grapes and in the air of the particular terroir where the grape grows
- Natural wines are not usually filtered because filtration can lead to loss of the unique character, flavor and aroma of the grape. Therefore, natural wines may be turbid and have sediment
- Up to 100 different additives can be used in the production of ordinary wine. Natural wine is made without technological additives. Slight additions of sulfites are allowed, but more often they are not used at all
- At Fancy wine, we believe in preserving the natural flavors and aromas of grapes, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, pesticides and preservatives. Our natural wines are fermented using only natural yeasts, resulting in unique and complex flavors not found in traditional wines

Georgia is the homeland of wine. Wine has been made here for more than 8,000 years Wine in Georgia is not just a drink, but a central part of culture and heritage. More than 500 unique grape varieties grow in the country, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. Winemaking in Georgia is a unique experience whose traditional methods are still used today. Grapes are fermented in "kvevri" clay jugs, which gives the wine a special flavor and aroma. The traditional Georgian wine-making method of fermenting grapes in egg-shaped clay vessels (kvevri) has been inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO). Natural Georgian wine is a wide range of flavors and aromas, making it a must for any wine lover.

- Andro BarnoviWine Artisans
Founder and winemaker at Wine Artisans, one of the outstanding boutique wineries and natural wine center, Gori, Georgia.
The wines are made from vineyards in different ecosystems and tiny terroirs, sometimes the size of the vineyard itself. The wines are made from sunlight and wind, soil and water. Consequently, terroir should be allowed to speak in true natural wine.
"The cellar has become my home. I live with the wines, growing and caring for them every day. My cellar is as unique as an artisan's workplace can be. But it is, first and foremost, a large two-story wine house.
Manic vineyard and cellar hygiene, a focus on terroir, a rich varietal base, and the 'culinary arts' of winemaking are my main weapons when trying to take my natural wines to a whole new level."
- Giorgi NatenadzeNatenadze Wine
Founder and winemaker at Natenadze Wine.
"My region of Samtskhe-Javakheti (Meskheti) was occupied for 4 centuries by the Ottomans. They destroyed vineyards and wine villages and local endemic grape varieties. Today I decided to research, study, identify and propagate the oldest Meskhetian vines.
I have spent the better part of the last decade wandering the mountain forests looking for ancient vines growing the way nature intended - up in the trees. I have found some vines that are more than 100 years old and one that is 400 years old. I have found 40 rare grape varieties in the forests in the south of the country, near the border with Turkey, but so far I have only been able to identify 24 of them.
Every year I make different ancient wines from them in the Natenadze wine cellar in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. My wines are very limited. I make 500-6000 bottles (of different grape varieties) a year.
