No, we do not irrigate our vineyard. We aim to discourage the development of superficial roots, encouraging instead a deep penetration into the soil, where essential minerals reside. Unfortunately, climate change poses increasing challenges for us and other winemakers in Kakheti. Summers are becoming longer, hotter, and drier. We hope to maintain our practices without irrigation for as long as possible.

In the beginning we planted beans. In the next few years we would like to try strawberries, pumpkin and alfalfa (lucerne). We are always open for exciting inputs and ideas.
