Simon Chkheidze Cellar si klade za cíl udržovat tradice jejich rodiny a přispět k rozvoji přírodního vinařství v Gruzii, které věrně provádí od svého založení v roce 2005. Bílá vína se vyrábějí podle Imeretinské tradice, kde se z hroznů vyrábí pouze šťáva, ktreré se fermentuje a dozrává v qvevri; vzhledem k tomu, že růžová a červená vína se fermentují přidáním slupek (bez stonků) během počátečního kvašení po dobu 3–4 dnů, poté se odstraní. Vinice leží ve výšce 220-280 metrů nad mořem. Vinný sklep Simona Chkheidze je členem Asociace pro přírodní víno.
