Nine Oaks Makes Wine — And Friends.
Nine Oaks is a winery built on friendship. Our story is deeply rooted in love of the country of Georgia, its rare and native grapes, viticulture, and extraordinary hospitality. We make wine the ancient and traditional way, slowly, with minimal intervention, as nature and our ancestors intended. Our mission is to share all that goodness, in addition to Georgian culture, art and creativity, all over the world.
Grow and gift with us in the spirit of Georgia. Gaumarjos!
Natural Winemaking Is our Birthright
We listen to the grapes, creating wine naturally with minimal intervention: low sulfur, indigenous yeast, no added sugars, no pesticides, no herbicides and no coloring.
Nine Oaks Tasted: De Grote Hamersma, (The Great Hamersma)
Critic De Grote Hamersma reviewed our 2018 Khikhivi and Kisi, giving both high marks for uniqueness and "quirky" flavor: juicy, leafy, emphatically un-sweet.
A dutch critic who gives points for environmentally responsible wines and reviews based on smell, color, taste and aftertaste, our wines made the list as excellent scoring.
We Do Things The Georgian Way With Natural Curiosity
We naturally cultivate rare and special limited-edition wines the old-old-old-fashioned way: using traditional Georgian methods used in the region for more than 8000 years. This is “slow” wine – made carefully with extended grape skin-contact and fermented underground for a year in clay vessels called Qvevri, resulting in deeply earthy and golden amber colored wines.
We love nothing more than sharing our love of Georgia and our reverence for our land and the beauty of working alongside friends.
