In 2023, Naberauli welcomed a new winemaker to its team – Ana Dokhnadze, who brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience gained in Germany’s renowned Rheingau region, at Geisenheim University.
Ana strives to strike a balance between tradition and innovation to represent Naberauli with dignity on both local and international markets. Her professionalism, natural approach, and dedication to preserving regional identity result in wines that not only deserve recognition but also embody the unique soul of the region. Naberauli’s wines are crafted from grape varieties native to the Racha and Lechkhumi regions.
“For me, the foundation of high-quality wine begins in the vineyard. As a member of the Naberauli family, I aim to support the development of our vineyards. My priority is to implement smart practices in vineyard management that promote healthy vine growth and enable the production of premium wines.
My goal is to showcase the uniqueness of the Racha-Lechkhumi terroir in our premium wines by reviving the region’s indigenous grape varieties. I believe that combining traditional methods with modern technologies — and treating each grape variety individually — will only strengthen our winemaking culture. I want to offer wine lovers a product that unites heritage and quality,” says Ana.
