Ghvinos Wine Group imports natural and low-intervention wines from the Republic of Georgia to the United States, operating its wholesale and direct-to-consumer distribution from Encinitas's Cypress Hills Drive. The portfolio centers on qvevri-aged wines—fermented and stored in beeswax-sealed clay vessels buried underground for six to twelve months—a technique with 8,000 years of documented use in the Caucasus region, placing Ghvinos alongside curated retailers like Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas's specialty-wine ecosystem. Current imports include bottles from Iberieli Winery and Anapea Village, both certified through the Natural Wine Association of Georgia for organic or biodynamic viticulture with no added sulfites, sugars, or commercial yeasts. Indigenous Georgian grape varieties such as Rkatsiteli, Saperavi, Mtsvane, and Kisi produce amber (skin-contact white), dry red, and pétillant naturel wines suited to the farm-to-table programs at Encinitas restaurants like Herb & Sea. The qvevri fermentation method relies on the vessel's egg-shaped interior to generate natural convection currents that circulate must over grape skins, extracting tannins and pigment without mechanical punch-down or pump-over intervention.
