Producer
Temuri Dakishvili is the 4th generation of winemakers in the Dakishvili family. Having started the Vita Vinea winery, with it’s own distinctive quality and taste and now also head winemaker of Teliani Valley, Temuri is on his way to become another authority when it comes to wine making in Georgia. Continuing the tradition… With a father that has the reputation of being one of the best winemakers of Georgia, there are some really big footsteps to fill.
Temuri however, has already proven to continue the legacy. As winemaker of the Vita Vinea vineyard, he has shown that he has his own unique style combined with the highest level of quality. His wines are also highly favored by the wine drinking community: on vivino they have scores well over 4.0/5.0 which is outstanding!
It is to no surprise he has also started working as winemaker of Teliani Valley, a position his father Giorgi has held in the past as well. Big wine producers like these do not like to take risks and only work with the best in the field. And they know that the Dakishvili offers the best winemakers. We are already curious for Temuri’s son Davit, which kind of great wines he will make in the future! The wineyard Dakishvili Vinyards is a small family winery in the village Shalauri near the town Telavi in Eastern part of Georgia.
They have been growing grapes and producing wine for nearly 10 decades. With traditional and fantastic grapes like Saperavi, Rkatsiteli and Kisi grown on their own vineyards. All their wines are “estate bottled”. They (barrel and qvevri)-age in the wine cellar and release wines later than others to allow them to develop and mature.
The wines are sold direct to the leading Georgian restaurants and in the best wine boutiques. It’s rare to be in Singapore- Wine Kaypoh!
