Burkhard Schuchmann, a German transport engineer and former chairman of the German rail technology company Vossloh AG, bought and developed Schuchmann Wines in 2008.
 
There is a philanthropic dimension to his investment, which aims for sustainable agriculture, ecological conservation and has led to the creation of winemaking scholarships, and the building of a hotel and restaurant complex to bring in visitors.
 
Orgo Winery's Giorgi Dakishvili is employed as a winemaking consultant to Schuchmann.
 
Schuchmann's Saperavi 2017 shows the intense colour of the grape (which is a "Teinturier" - a grape whose flesh and juice is red) with rich intense full-flavours and structure. Unlike our other "qvevri" wines, this is made in a clean, modern way. It is fermented in stainless steel and then briefly oak aged.
