You’ve seen these Guardians bottles on W**e Wednesdays before, but do you know the stories of these ladies on the labels? 🇬🇪🍷
On the left, Rkatsiteli (white) — Lela
“Our Rkatisteli label honors Lela, one of Georgia’s legendary woman warriors. In 1659, Lela, the daughter of a famous warrior, stepped forward to join the effort to liberate Georgia from foreign warlords, but was refused because she was a woman.
One warrior, Kviria, knew that the effort could not succeed without Lela’s help, and devised a plan to strike by stealth. Lela perished in the fray, but not before opening the gates and leading the way for a Georgian victory.”
On the right, Saperavi (red) — Maia
“Our Saperavi label honors Maia who is Georgia’s cross between Mulan and Robin Hood. Maia fled from a corrupt baron to the woods, where she dressed as a man, stole from him, and gave to the poor.
When foreign invaders came, she joined the army where, thanks to her skill, she rose to a leadership position and helped defend Georgia. At the end she revealed her true identity to great amazement.”

I love to tell these stories when we enjoy these w**es at tastings. Maia and Lela inspire us with their courage, and their stories always move me offer a toast. Join us tonight and try both of these easy-to-love Georgian classics for half-off! Ask for Guardians red or white.
