Georgia has been on many peoples’ minds lately. Ranked among top touristic destinations by leading press outlets such as the Financial Times and National Geographic to name a few, its picturesque nature, novel gastronomic flavours, culture and history are being (re)discovered by the West. 

​

‘Untamed’ explores Georgia’s unique 8000-year-old uninterrupted wine culture that has caught the interest of wine experts and lay connoisseurs alike. What makes it so unique is its 525 endogenous grapes varieties; an ancient winemaking technology that uses buried ‘Qvevri’ clay-jars  (instead of oak barrels); and the art of feasting that calls to mind the philosophical ‘symposiums’ of the ancient Greeks.

​

Through richly illustrated pages, the reader is given an overview of the Georgian culture and keys to understanding different wine-producing regions. It will prove itself a useful guide to whomever willing to explore unusual tastes of a country so close and yet so different to Europe.
