The Silver Taste of Dozortsev & Sons

Dozortsev & Sons Georgian wine receives awards at Canada and US fairs.


The Silver Taste of Dozortsev & Sons

In the beginning of 2004, Hvanchkara wine produced by Dozortsev & Sons received the bronze medal at the international wine trade show in Toronto, Canada.

At the trade fair, over 200 of the most famous vineyards from around the world showcased the numerous kinds of wine they bottled. All in all, around 3269 brand names were featured in Toronto. Clearly, with such a competition, Dozortsev & Sons’ bronze medal victory is quite an accomplishment!

Recently, other good news reached Dozortsev & Sons. At the worldwide wine show in Indiana that concluded in August 2004, four of Dozortsev & Sons’ authentic Georgian wines received the bronze: Kindzmarauli, Mukuzani, Tsinandali and – once again – Hvanchkara.

The show in Indiana featured about 3600 kinds of wine from 17 countries in the world. The wines were presented by companies based in various parts of the United States: from New York and Washington to Chicago and Alaska.

Each year, the trade fair in Indiana gains in reputation and popularity. Currently, one can judge the scale of the contest by the number of participating judges alone. Over 75 highly-qualified specialists from America, Canada, and Europe evaluated the wines.

We asked Dozortsev & Sons’ president, Gennadi Dozortsev, about his comments on the many recent awards.

 

- The bronze medals that were given to our wines at two of the largest international wine fairs are, without doubt, very important for us. The awards reaffirm that our company’s Georgian wines are truly natural, authentic, and high-quality. Our wines uphold the high reputation that all Georgian wines have internationally. As the president of  the company, I am particularly pleased to hear that during the blind testing procedure (the judges could not see) our wines not only turned out to be as good as many of the best American, Italian, and French wines - they surpassed  the competition.

 

- In the award certificate issued to your company at the wine show in Indiana, it is mentioned that the Hvanchkara wine is made from Alek-sandreuli grapes and the Tsinandali wine is made from Rakatsiteli grapes. Interestingly, it is further written that both the Kindzmarauli and the Mukuzani wines are made from the same type of grapes, Saperavi. How could this be? Kindzmarauli is a half-sweet wine, while Mukuzani is a dry wine?

 

- Very interesting question! This is exactly what marks the difference between authentic Georgian wines and wines that come from California or Italy-grown grapes. The small country of Georgia is a place of unique diversity in terms of its climatic and soil zones. The wine made in Georgia always receives its name according to the place where the grapes comprising it were grown. For instance, real Kindzmarauli, the most widely-known Georgian wine, can only be produced from Sapervai grapes, which are found in the Kindzmarauli micro-zone of the Kahetia region. The area of that zone is about 750 acres. It is distinct in its mineral-rich soil composition, which, due to its heat-preserving quality, gives the growing grapes special sweetness, resulting in the wine’s inimitable taste. The Mukuzani wine, although made of the same type of grapes, consists of grapes that originated in a less-sunny place. This is why the two wines’ tastes are unlike.

 I’d also have to mention that our company’s Georgian partner, the Kindzmarauli Association, has the exclusive right to the use and possession of the Kindzmarauli micro-zone. Dozortsev & Sons’ Kindzmarauli wine is a truly authentic wine.

 

In conclusion, let me address the consumers. Before purchasing Georgian wine, always take note of what label the bottle features. If the logo is the letter D surrounded by two lions, then you can be assured of the wine’s high quality and authenticity.
