Re-establishing their family’s winemaking roots in Georgia, brothers Levan and Georgi Chychynadze operate and run a small winery in the Kakheti region, Eastern Georgia, about 2 hours from the country's capital, Tbilisi. Kakheti is Georgia’s most significant winemaking region in terms of quality, quantity, and history, with evidence showing that wine has been made here for several thousand years! Along the banks of the Alazani River, the continental climate, and iron-rich soils, provide ideal conditions for quality viticulture.

Established in 2017, in homage to their Mother, they named the estate after her nickname, Tiko. Levan and Georgi, alongside Levan's wife Maria, have ample experience in the wine industry, combined over 40 years, with 50 vintages under their belt, across 4 different continents and 10 countries. Using their international training, modern winemaking technology, and traditional Georgian equipment and techniques, they create quality wines, from native Georgian varieties, which reflect Georgia’s rich winemaking traditions.

Tiko’s Orange Kisi instantly became a team favorite when we tasted it; a traditionally made orange wine, which has been fermented and aged on the skins for up to 6 months, in traditional clay pots known as qvevri. Serious concentration, complexity, amplified aromatics, and depth of flavour going on here. And their Rkatsiteli and Saperavi are knockout examples of these unique indigenous varieties.
