Bagrationi 1882 is the leading sparkling wine house in Georgia. With a 80% domestic market share, Bagrationi 1882 has distinguished history, dating back to the Georgian prince, Ivane Bagrationi-Mukhraneli who began producing sparkling wine using the classic bottle fermentation method and in 1882 achieved international recognition.

Substantial investment in new production technology today enables Bagrationi 1882 to employ both the Methode Traditionnelle originally developed for the production of fine champagne as well as the Method Charmat to create a range of sparkling wines perfect for a broad range of drinking occasions and palates

Gia Gabunia is Bagrationi 1882’s master wine maker. Mr. Gabunia was awarded the status of official wine taster from the prestigious Georgian University of Agriculture. Hilarius Puetz, the winery production manager, has over 30 years of experience in the European wine industry and is responsible for the cultivation and production of Bagrationi 1882 wines in Georgia.
