Meskheti

Meskheti is probably the highest mountain viticulture  region not only in Georgia, but throughout the world . The vine is found here at 900-1700 meters above the sea level. The Meskhetian Viticulture  primarily means  gardens and vineyards on terraces, which have several names: Oroko, Dariji, Bakani, Saqve. In Meskheti there was a lowland and a highland vineyard, although the main species was high, and it was of course different from the Guria-Samegrelo highlands, mainly because it was mostly on the apricot tree. Meskheti is one of the most ancient sites of viticulture  in Georgia, some scientists  believe that ancient Georgian varieties Saperavi, Dzvelshavi, Khikhvi and others could have origins in  Meskheti.
