Château Buera Winery was founded in 2018 by Goga Maisuradze, the founder of Lopota Spa Resort. He was a dedicated wine entrepreneur and he believed in the great potential of Georgian wine. After his decease, the winery is managed by his family. 

The vineyards of Château Buera in the Napareuli microzone are spread on alluvial, rocky soils of the Northern slope and expand over 5 hectares of land.

The Great Caucasus Mountains form a barrier that protects Georgia from the cold air of the North and leaves its Western ridge open to warm and humid air coming from the Black Sea.

The full cycle of Château Buera winemaking - form the approach of minimal intervention in the process of vine growing and winemaking, to the restoration of grapes of rare Georgian varieties.

Château Buera’s philosophy of winemaking is based on the preservation of nature, respect for the soil, and the harmonious relationships of humans and ground.

To maintain the integrity of the bunches, they are hand-picked and placed in open boxes. After splitting the grapes, they are placed on a special vibrating table and only the most healthy grains are selected for fermentation. The fermentation process takes place both in stainless steel tanks and qvevris - a traditional method, after which the wine is transferred for ageing to French oak barrels.
