Barbales Marani is a Georgian winery founded in 2014 by Zviad Kordzaia, based in Tbilisi and focused on sourcing grapes from various wine regions across the country. The winery’s identity is strongly rooted in tradition and symbolism, with its name derived from Barbale, a mythological goddess of the sun and fertility, reflecting a philosophy centered on nature and cycles of life.

Production emphasizes indigenous grape varieties such as Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Tsitska, Tsolikauri, and Otskhanuri Sapere, alongside occasional use of international varieties like Chardonnay and Malbec. Wines are typically produced in small batches, often unfiltered, with the aim of preserving authenticity and a clear expression of terroir.

Traditional methods, including qvevri fermentation, play an important role, combined with an experimental approach that explores different microzones and styles. The portfolio ranges from fresh, approachable whites to structured reds and complex amber wines.

Barbales Marani has gained international recognition, including awards at competitions such as IWSC, highlighting its growing reputation. In addition to production, the winery also develops a wine bar concept in Tbilisi, connecting its wines with contemporary wine culture and gastronomy.
