Winemaking has always been in Keti Berishvili’s blood. She grew up making
wine with her father Kakha, one of the founders of the natural wine movement
and mentor to the generation of Kakhetian winemakers that came after him. He
was working under the label Artanuli Gvino until the 2021 vintage when the two
decided that the whole Berishvili family would just produce wine under Keti’s
label, GOGO (translates to ‘girl’ in Georgian). Born in 2015, GOGO is an homage
to the importance of the role of women in what has been perceived of as a male
dominated tradition in Georgia. Though the label is now a collaboration between
the two generations of Berishvili’s, GOGO is really Keti’s baby with Kakha, who
spends most of his time in the vineyards, acting as its loving grandfather.
