K’Avshiri is a truly extraordinary project, uniting five years of work by British former wine critic and author of over 25 books, Robert Joseph, and Vladimer Kublashvili, highly experienced wine judge and chief winemaker for Winery Khareba one of Georgia’s leading wine companies.

The seeds of K’Avshiri date back to 1988 when Robert Joseph, made his first trip to Georgia, then still part of the Soviet Union. He was fascinated by the history, language, architecture, delicious east-meets-west cuisine and wines like nothing he had tasted before.

In 2018, after several other visits to Georgia, Robert Joseph, who had co-created the innovative le Grand Noir wine range in France, met Kublashvili and was immediately struck by his talent and imagination. While tasting wines from indigenous and often rare Georgian grapes from the Kakheti and Imereti regions, the two men began to imagine the creation of a very special wine.
