Buy Wine from Pheasant's Tears

Pheasant's Tears Winery is located in the charming town of Sighnaghi, Georgia. This winery is much more than just a place where wine is produced; it is a melting pot of tradition, culture, music, food and art. The essence of Pheasant's Tears lies in the confluence of the spirit of the place, its geology, its history and the emotions of the winemaker himself. According to John Wurdeman, it is a dialogue between nature and man, a tension between respect for the past and the creation of new experiences for the future.

In 2006, Pheasant's Tears was founded with a bold and renewed vision. American painter John Wurdeman, who had been living in Sighnaghi for nearly a decade, teamed up with winemaker Gela Patalishvili with the goal of reviving and celebrating the authenticity of Georgian wine. Together, they embarked on a mission to recover forgotten varieties and traditional winemaking techniques that had been lost during the Soviet era.

Winemaking

Pheasant's Tears wines are fermented and aged in qvevri, ancient Georgian vessels made of clay and lined with beeswax. These qvevri are completely buried underground, allowing the wines to ferment in the natural freshness of the earth. This winemaking technique dates back to 6000 BC, making it one of the oldest in the world.

Philosophy

Pheasant's Tears winemaking philosophy is based on the Georgian tradition. All their wines are fermented in qvevri, avoiding the use of oak barrels so that the authentic flavour of the grapes can shine through. Following traditional methods, the ripest bunches are added to the skins, juice and pips of the grapes for both reds and whites. The maceration time varies according to the variety and size of the qvevri, ranging from 3 weeks to 6 months.
Pheasant's Tears has been dedicated to reintroducing varieties that have not been bottled in over a hundred years, offering wine lovers a unique and authentically Georgian experience.
