To discover the reality of Nika Bakhia, one must go to Georgia, where the art of long maceration in amphora reigns supreme. We are located more precisely in the East, in the Kakheti area, in the village of Ananga. Nika is an eclectic person, architect, and sculptor by training, with a great passion for wine which he then transformed into a profession. Perhaps it is precisely his training that allowed him to fall in love with that incredible container that is the amphora, in Gerorgian Qvevri, creating the Qvevri Association, thus giving birth to the movement of wines in amphora, which goes beyond Georgian borders, becoming famous all over the world. In 2006 he founded the company becoming a neighbor of the "Our Wine" winery, another important Georgian production reality, with which he shares the main Cru Tsarapi and Akhoebi and today cultivates 6-7 hectares with the main Georgian indigenous grapes: Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Tavkveri, Khikhvi and Mstvane. In her great respect for the environment, Nika decides not to treat her vineyards with any chemical additives and to use only human energy and the strength of horses. In addition to being a productive choice, his is a self-affirmation: he decides to make wine to be fully responsible for his land, using his name as the spokesperson for a completely natural production. In winemaking Nika is fully hidden behind the Georgian tradition; with a very elegant and light hand he can give harmonic wines from an early age. In short, his cellar becomes the artistic laboratory and the wines as products of his art.
