The Garden Winery
The longer story
How a small studio in Tbilisi ended up with its hands in the soil, and what the vines have been teaching us ever since.
The beginning
Adrian to write - the season that became a stay, the first harvest, why a studio that makes brands found itself burying clay vessels in the ground.
The varieties
Adrian to write - the Georgian endemic grapes we work with, where they grow, and why we have kept to them rather than reaching for the international varieties everyone knows.
The process
Adrian to write - Qvevri and glass, skin contact and direct press, what a year on the skins does, and the patience the method asks for.
The discipline
Adrian to write - the subtraction principle, what we choose not to add, and why showing the year as it came matters more to us than tidying it up.
