Georgia
Iberieli is a Georgian producer from Kakheti focused on a single wine made entirely from Saperavi. The wine is fermented and aged in traditional qvevri vessels, reflecting a distinctly Georgian approach to winemaking. Zurab Topuridze is the only individual identified in connection with the wine, apparently as its winemaker or bottler. The available information does not specify the producer’s scale, vineyard practices, sustainability credentials, or ownership structure.
