I am Iveri Beridze, a 20-year old winemaker.
  
My very first encounter with the wine existed. I was 6 years old when my family planted the vineyard. Now I have “Tsolikauri” and ‘Chkhavery” spread on half a hectare. This wine is special because of its unique characteristics. Once my wine was evaluated by the best sommeliers in Georgia, they loved it.

I used simple labels for my first production. It simply said “From Iveri’s vineyards”.
Now I want to have something more creative for ‘Chkhaveri” which is especially popular among wine lovers and I want to make it visually attractive.

My goals for the next 20 years... First of all I want the wine I produce to be loved and accepted in Georgia... And then even more, people usually wish to go beyond borders...
