Origin
Originating in the Kartli and Kakheti regions of eastern Georgia, Mtsvane has been cultivated for centuries, playing a vital role in Georgian winemaking traditions. Revered for its adaptability and resilience, Mtsvane vines thrive in diverse terroirs, from the sun-kissed valleys of Kakheti to the cooler climates of Kartli, showcasing the grape's remarkable versatility.
Viticulture
Mtsvane is known for its vigorous growth and resistance to pests and diseases, making it a favorite among vineyard owners and winemakers alike. The grape's thick skins protect it from sun damage, while its natural acidity ensures vibrant flavors in the resulting wines. Although predominantly grown in Georgia, Mtsvane has also found success in neighboring countries such as Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as in select regions of Eastern Europe.
