Martvilis Marani

Zaza Gagua and his wife Keto Ninidze left Tbilisi in 2015 to settle in Martvili, a small town in the Samegrelo region of western Georgia. Zaza had started the project in 2012 with just half a hectare and fewer than 3,000 bottles; today the estate farms four hectares around the cellar with additional fruit sourced from like-minded organic growers in Imereti, Lechkhumi, and Kakheti. The winery was formerly known as Vino M'artville before rebranding in 2019 to honor the Georgian heritage of the place. Annual production now exceeds 11,000 bottles.

Martvilis Marani works in Samegrelo, the subtropical lowlands of western Georgia, a lush, forested region where the Caucasus foothills meet the Black Sea basin. It is one of the least-explored wine zones in Georgia , long overshadowed by the eastern Kakheti region , but home to indigenous varieties found nowhere else on earth. The warm, humid climate and rich alluvial soils allow for vigorous vine growth and intense aromatic development, particularly in the rare varieties that have survived here for millennia.
