Tarasi Minadze
Irakli Minadze and his brother, Tornike, head a small estate they call "Persvi" in the village Persati of Baghdati District in the Imereti region of Georgia. They follow in the footsteps of their grandfather, Taras Minadze, who persevered in his passion for viticulture through the political challenges of the last century. The Minadze brothers approach their craft with regional ancient traditions of winemaking in mind. Grapes are organically grown and hand-harvested. Irakli relies on indigenous yeasts, and uses no fining, no filtration, and no sulfites at any stage, including bottling.
