A Brief History of JSC Corporation Kindzmarauli

The roots of Corporation Kindzmarauli can be traced back to the year 1533, a time intertwined with the construction of the historic Kvareli fortress in the region. This fortress, steeped in history, boasted a wine cellar that exclusively catered to the royal families for a significant portion of its existence. Today, the secrets once kept within the fortress’s walls have been unveiled to a broader audience, both locally and internationally.

Starting in the 1970s, the vineyards that bear the legacy of Kindzmarauli have passed through the hands of multiple owners, ultimately transforming into a Joint Stock Company. At present, Corporation Kindzmarauli is a prolific producer, crafting an impressive 600,000 bottles of wine annually. These wines find their way to the far reaches of the globe, with exports reaching ten countries. In addition to their renowned wines, the company has expanded its repertoire to include the artistry of producing cognac spirits.

Nestled in the fertile grounds of Kakheti and the surrounding regions, Corporation Kindzmarauli’s vineyards flourish. At altitudes ranging from 400 to 500 meters above sea level along the Alazani River Valley, these vineyards benefit from the unique terroir of the area. The company’s four vineyards, including two in the Kindzmarauli microzone and two in the Kvareli area, contribute to the production of wines that are a testament to Georgia’s rich winemaking heritage. These exceptional wines are presented to the world under the esteemed label of Duruji Valley Wine.
