Giorgi Dakisivhili is one of Georgia’s most accomplished winemakers, a man who’s equally comfortable employing historic and modern techniques. One of a family of oenologists, he studied in the Ukraine and California before returning to his native Kakheti region, where he set up Dakishvili Family Vineyards.  Our wide-ranging conversation covered everything from Saperavi to amber wines, Georgia’s 525 grapes to the country’s 8,000 year old wine culture.
To about Giorgi have a look at his website. You can also follow him on Instagram at @giorgidakishvili.
Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts. You can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
