Tamuna Bidzinashvili started Kortavebis Marani in 2014 in Easter Georgia. She planted 2.5 ha in Kakheti & started making wine with negocian grapes while waiting for the vineyard to grow. Now 60% of the grapes used are from the Kortavebis Marani property, there are 35 indigenous grape varietals growing as a kind of library.

Tamuna’s Wine is a new brand created by Kortabevis Marani, which combines grapes from different regions to create wines that are unique and unconventional to the region. Tamuna is a winemaker with new potential & promise for Georgian wine, incorporating new techniques while maximizing the benefits of traditional techniques.

The winery was built in the old Kakhetian architectural style and therefore uses different sized kvevri, each of which is used for both fermentation & storage. The wines are not filtered & only use direct decanting techniques prior to bottling. The entire wine production cycle is done by hand.
