At Chateau Askana, wine is made from exceptional grape varieties sourced from both Guria and other regions of Georgia. In Guria: Sakmiela, Tsolikouri, and Chkhaveri. In Imereti: Tsolikouri and Krakhuna. In Racha-Lechkhumi: Tsolikouri. In Adjara: Chkhaveri. It’s worth noting that the Chkhaveri grape variety is used to produce both white and rosé wines.
At the chateau, sparkling wine is aged for a minimum of 1.5–2 years and up to a maximum of 4–5 years. Still wine, on the other hand, is produced over a period of 6–7 months.
During the harvest season, Chateau Askana processes between 100 and 1,200 tons of grapes.
