This winery produces natural wines, including Qvevri styles, specializing in Imeretian varietals. Known for using local grapes such as Tsolikouri. Natia explains that at 33 she found a job at a wine bar—even though she didn’t like wine. But in Sighnaghi, at Pheasant’s Tears,\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e“Wine entered my soul.” The wines she trained her palate on were not just some of the best in Georgia—they were among the finest natural wines in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"When she was given a small plot of promising land, in West Georgia Imereti region, the winemakers in her life encouraged her. More than the sturdy wines of Kakheti, her home region, the lighter wines of her adopted home resonated. The move suited her, and she reflected poetically on why: “In Kakheti, people are more serious and more emotional, like the wines. Here, the wines have less angst.”\u003c\/em\u003e Alice Feering How Women Are Breathing New Life Into Georgia’s 8,000-Year Wine Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Caveau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59251832553806,"sku":null,"price":32.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0420\/3629\/7888\/files\/WhiteMulberry_NatiaChekurishvili_Tsitska.jpg?v=1774456531","url":"https:\/\/lecaveau.ie\/products\/white-mulberry-natia-chekurishvili-tsitska-no-skin-contact-imereti-georgia","provider":"Le Caveau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
