NATURAL WINES BY LAPATI WINES
Lapati Wines was set up in 2015 by two Frenchmen, Vincent Jullien and Guillaume Gouerou, in Sagarejo in Kakheti, east of Tbilisi. They met at Art Villa Garikula, a Georgian arts centre, where Vincent was experimenting with natural sparkling wine and Guillaume was there as an artist. They buy from local growers and have around 1.5 hectares of their own, mostly Rkatsiteli.
They use traditional qvevri and very little sulphur, yet the wines are light and fresh, and they are among the very few making pét-nat in Georgia. Kidev Erti, Georgian for 'one more', is their pét-nat line, from Rkatsiteli, Chinuri and Tavkveri. Of the still wines, Chaku' is a directly pressed Rkatsiteli aged in qvevri, Chakalix a Rkatsiteli with seven months on skins, and Super Ravi' a Saperavi with ten days on skins.
