expedition in the southeast of the country, it was the discovery of fossilized grape seeds and remnants of Qvevri\u2014the egg-shaped earthenware vessel buried underground to aid the fermentation process\u2014which became the key to unraveling the 8000-year-old origins of viticulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Georgian National Museum and the University of Toronto dated these artifacts to the Neolithic period\u2014approximately 6000 BC\u2014making them the earliest evidence of ancient winemaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For wine expert Andrew Jeffords, this revelation has not only placed Georgia at the epicenter of winemaking but also underscores an unparalleled historical continuity. To him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">&#8220;Georgia is the only country in the world where winemaking methods that were developed up to 8000 years ago have not only never been abandoned but remain in many ways best practice.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece developed wine cultures of their own, all owe a debt to Georgian viticulture,\u201d says Jeffords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winemaking may have evolved over the years but the original techniques continue to shape the country\u2019s 57 vineyards, demonstrating an unwavering appreciation of the ancient art of winemaking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/khareba-3-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">Wine is more than a drink in Georgia; it&#8217;s a national identity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#e4af8b\">\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:35px;text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Clay, culture, and connection<\/mark><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<p>Grounded by 8000-year-old foundations, contemporary Georgian winemaking is sustained by a triumvirate of elements: clay, culture, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Georgian terrain, gifted with a temperate climate conducive to vine cultivation, has become home to over 525 indigenous grape varieties. The famed Alazani River Valley, framed against the backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains, is a winemaking haven, with its combination of well-drained, mineral-rich soils and high altitude contributing to the distinctive flavors and aromas typical of Georgian wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the soil, the enduring spirit of the Georgian people sustains historic winemaking rituals. Passed down from generation to generation, these traditions transcend practice; a cultural inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most prevalent ritual of Georgian viticulture is the ancient art of Qvevri winemaking. The use of large, cylindrical clay vessels buried underground allows for natural temperature regulation during fermentation, imparting a unique texture and complexity to ensure that each sip encapsulates the essence of the Georgian terroir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geographical placement is the final thread that ensures Georgia\u2019s viticultural relevance today. The country\u2019s strategic location has facilitated trade connections with Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, enabling its wine to travel far and wide. And with Qveri now designated a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/lists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\">UNESCO National Monument of Intangible Cultural Heritage<\/a>, Georgia\u2019s ancient winemaking practices continue to have global appeal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"
