Vineyards and winery "Chateau zegaani"

Chateau Zegaani is a winery located in the Mukuzani micro-region, known for its unique terroirs and favorable climatic conditions for growing grapes. This region occupies a special place among the wine terroirs of Georgia due to the composition of the soil and its location. The vineyards on the northern mountain slopes provide natural ventilation, preventing moisture stagnation, which creates optimal conditions for growing grapes.

The Chateau Zegaani family farm owns 20 hectares of vineyards, where vines are cultivated using environmentally friendly methods. Features of the approach include:

• Manual care of vines: pruning, thinning of foliage and harvesting are done manually, ensuring maximum care for the plants.
• Eco-friendly materials: vine supports are made of oak and acacia, and garters are made with natural fibers of corn tops so as not to harm the plants.
• Natural fertilizers: only organic fertilizers such as cow manure are used, without the use of insecticides and herbicides.

cellars built by Prince A. Chavchavadze.
