Chelti preserves ancient winemaking traditions by producing wines in clay jars (Qvevri), a technique recognized by UNESCO as the world’s oldest winemaking method, dating back 8,000 years.
Alongside this traditional approach, Chelti also employs modern methods using stainless steel and French oak barrels. The wine storage facility is located 7 meters (25 feet) below ground. Within this meticulously crafted vault, Chelti stores the largest reserve stock of Saperavi in Georgia, and potentially the world, benefiting from optimal aging conditions.

Seven meters underground, in naturally cool and stable conditions, we age the largest reserve of Saperavi wine in Georgia, and possibly the world. The consistent temperature of 12–16°C (53–60°F) is ideal for long-term wine aging.

Since our first vintage in 2007, we have built a reserve of over 150,000 bottles. With our new cellar currently under construction, we’ll soon be able to age up to 350,000 bottles at the same time.
