The GWS company is located in the city of Telavi in the Kakheti region of Georgia. The formerly state-owned company was privatised in 1994 and transformed into a public limited company. The French group Pernod Ricard acquired 51% and determines the direction of the company. The remaining 49% is owned by Georgian businessman Levan Gachechiladze. The trademark is a jumping horse with a winged rider. The wide product range includes wines from the PDO areas of Akhasheni, Khvanchkara, Kindzmarauli, Mukuzani, Napareuli, Tsinandali and Tvishi, for example. Sparkling wines and various spirits(brandy, pomace brandy= chacha) are also produced.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
