The wines are fermented and aged in clay egg-shaped vessels known as kvevri, an ancient Georgian winemaking method recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage practice.

Lagvinari Mtsvane Kakhuri 2021 is an orange dry wine made from autochthonous Mtsvane grapes grown in the Kartli region. Production follows the traditional Georgian winemaking method, where fermentation and maturation occur in egg-shaped kvevri. The wine is not filtered or clarified before bottling. Its aromatic profile combines notes of rosin and tropical fruit. The wine boasts a rich, tannic flavor with hints of wild herbs. This is Mtsvane crafted in the Lagvinari style: opulent, complex, and full-bodied.
Part of the Lagvinari vineyards are located in the Kartli region, surrounded by mountain ranges that play a vital role in shaping the terroir. These vineyards are situated in valleys between the mountains, primarily in river basins. The Kartli wine region is divided into three zones—Kvemo, Shua, and Zemo Kartli—based on geography and winemaking styles. Vineyards in these zones are cultivated at altitudes ranging from 450 to 700 meters above sea level. The region's climate is continental, warm, and humid, although some areas are quite dry due to characteristic winds that dry out the soil, necessitating irrigation. Annual rainfall varies from 370 to 700 mm, and the area enjoys 2,100 to 2,500 hours of sunshine per year. Lagvinari Mtsvane Kakhuri is a striking representative of this region, faithfully conveying the characteristics of its terroir.
