Henry’s Marani
Categories:
What’s New
Henry’s Marani is the first ever in the UK marani museum which includes the wine tasting hall Henry’s Marani. Marani is an elegant yet somewhat unusual Georgian word meaning “wine cellar”.
It was precisely in Georgia that the wine culture was born some 8,000 years ago. The Georgians started making wine in what was later established as a traditional way of wine making – in Qvevri, a cone-shaped clay vessel buried in the ground.
Henry Mchedlishvili, Georgian by origin was importing Georgian wines to the UK since 90th, two years ago he decided to built his own traditional Georgian Qvevri winery and museum in England and make qvevri wines in the UK.
In 2013 the UNESCO enlisted the wine fermenting technology in Qvevri as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
As is the way in life, societies and civilisations have developed, changed and seen many dramatic changes over the 8 millennia; however, the Georgian nation has nurtured with love their wine making tradition and preserved it for posterity.
You can now experience this tradition of wine making in its original form at the wine department of Plumpton College in Sussex.
It is doubly pleasing to know that the marani in Plumpton College is already up and running. You will be able to find out about various historical samples of Georgian wines as well as taste wines matured in Qvevri, orange wine along with English sparkling wine to name but a few. We also keep wines which we specially chose and brought directly from Georgia for you.
We are happy to host you at any weekend of your choice. Just let us know a convenient date and time. We can arrange transfers from London for groups of 10 or more.
We are pleased to invite you to a private visits, guided wine tours and wine tastings.

Georgian Wine Importer to UK
Grapes of East Wines is the leading importer of Georgian Wines in the UK
“My childhood in Georgia inspired me to sell Georgian Wines”… Henry Mchedlishvili, Founder.
Originally from Georgia, Kakheti, Henry was growing up in wine culture, since his relocation to the UK he discovered how little his new friends from the UK knew about Georgia.
He started his wine importing business ten years ago and became the biggest importer of Georgian Wines.
Currently, over 20 local shops in London are selling Georgian Wines. Traditional Qvevri wines are listed in top Michelin restaurants and Henry’s wines- first English Qvevri wines made and fermented using traditional Georgian method- are available in the shops and online.
Grapes of East Wines offer an excellent selection of Georgian wines from different producers as well as wines from the Plumpton, England made by Henry Mchedlishvili using traditional Georgian Qvevri winemaking method.
“One ordinary day, I got a present from my friend in Georgia. a bottle of beautiful amber Qvevri Georgian wine. That’s when I asked myself- why we can not make the Qvevri wines here in England?”
That’s how the idea and concept of “Henry’s Marani” were born in 2017.
Since then with the great support of Chris Foss from the Plumpton Agricultural College Wine Department,
Mako Abashidze from the British Georgian Chamber of Commerce the great idea came to life- currently, at the territory of the Plumpton College Wine Department, there is a fully functioning traditional Georgian Marani (winery) with the little Museum of history of the Georgian Winemaking. The total production capacity of the Marani is up to 3,000 bottles. The first harvest from 2017 was an immediate success.
Henry is hosting regular tours and tastings at the Marani.

When an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using “Content here, content here”, making it look like readable English.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry”s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for “lorem ipsum” will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
