THE ESSENCE OF EARTH
ROSHA WINES BRING OUT THE BEST THE EARTH HAS TO OFFER
In our craft we attempt to unearth and bring out the very taste of the soil. Like the vine, digging deeper into the earth, with each year we cultivate our practices further, exploring new methods, adopting new techniques with care, blending these with our own findings persistently, until these new methods too become our own.

“Our approach is simple as it has always been to expose, to the best extent possible, varietal character of the grape itself with minimal interference, whilst ensuring that our wines enjoy the best health and a sound longevity. ”
— ROSHA Team
Qvevri is a natural clay-pot which is traditionally buried (or half-buried) under the ground. A recent revival of this age-old Georgian Qvevri culture, which the wine-makers across the world have widely embraced, has once more proven what we always knew: Qvevri is the best, most natural vessel for fermentation and safekeeping the wine. Grapes are crushed and fermented in Qvevri, it keeps the wine at the earth’s natural temperature.
