Ikano Estate
JSC Friends’ Cellar is an endeavor of a group of friends from 11 different countries united with their love and appreciation of Georgia, its nature, its people and its traditions. We set out with a task of exploring Georgia’s 8000 years’ old winemaking tradition and an ambitious goal to produce limited quantities of the best Georgian wine. Our journey, which started in 2008 has found its fortition in a concept of Ikano Estate.
The foundation of Ikano Estate is in our vineyards, where a sustainable and ecological viticulture is practiced. We are proud of our location in the AOC Kindzmarauli (Kakheti, Georgia) where we own more then 27 ha of vineyards. Vineyards are heart of our operations and we can only approach them with utmost care and trepidation, thus all our viticulture practices are fully hand-crafted.
In 2019 we started transitioning of our vineyards from conventional to bio-dynamic practices and in 2022 we applied for the official bio-certification program. Our goals is to have all 27ha of our vineyards bio-certified by the harvest of 2024.
