David Songulashvili: “At this stage, the majority of processed grapes are of high quality and in excellent condition — a clear indicator that the 2025 grape harvest of Georgian wine will be outstanding.”

 
The Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, Mr. David Songulashvili, visited the Harvest Coordination Headquarters in Gurjaani to review the ongoing grape harvest process in the Kakheti region. The Minister received real-time updates on grape processing volumes and the organization of harvest logistics and storage.

 

“The harvest season is a critically important time for both grape growers and the winemaking industry, as it is during this period that one of Georgia’s key export products — Georgian wine — is created,” the Minister stated.

 

“At the beginning of the year, we emphasized the importance of improving grape quality to ensure that Georgian wine remains competitive on the global market. Growers were informed that they would receive higher compensation for conditioned and high-quality grapes. The harvest is now gaining momentum, and at this stage, the majority of processed grapes are indeed healthy and of excellent quality — a clear sign that the 2025 vintage of Georgian wine will be among the best.

 

The global competitiveness of Georgian wine is determined by its quality and uniqueness. Georgia is the cradle of wine, and Georgian wine is undeniably unique. That is why we are committed to producing wine that meets the highest standards and remains in strong demand worldwide,” Minister Songulashvili concluded.
