I am Zhuka (Tako Zhuruli) _ grape grower and winemaker, my husband is Sano (Zurab Sanodze) _ here's a name of our winery: Zhuka-Sano Wine. Zhuka-Sano Wine Cellar is located in Kakheti region on the valley of Ruispiri village, near Telavi.

The winery is surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains from the north and by Gombori ridge from the south. In 2015 we bought a house and vineyard on a magnificent place, left the capital and our life has forever changed – we have discovered a new world and become a part of it.

We have organic vineyard, the varieties oldest Georgian grapes _ Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Ikaltos tsiteli. The wine we make is natural, organic, without chemical additives and filtration. We do not actually interfere in the fermentation process, we only follow the process and observe cleanliness and hygiene.

This is a small family winery. Our cellar is situated inour house. In the cellar we found old kvevris – large clay vessels earthed and used for fermentation, storage and aging of wine, the oldest kvevri of them from 1907. We restored several quevris, renewed them and now we are making wine in them.

Zhuka-Sano Wine cellar are member of the natural wine association. We are beginner winemakers; we consider ourselves students of the best georgian winemakers. We regularly get updates in the new information and read old publications about winemaking and vineyard. But the more we learn, the little we know.

We believe you can discover the entire world in our wine – that includes us all! Discover yourself in Zhuka-Sano Wines.
