Bringing this strange wine to finish is never an easy mission. Usakhelauri yields its first crops 6-7 years later. Until then, all you have to do is work hard... In Georgia they say a wine-grower has to kneel by each vine-plant 7 times a year. Usakhelauri requires kneeling at least 12 times. As it grows on mountain slopes, no technology can be brought and used to tend it. The vine is fragile and weak. It needs special care and attention - a single mistake will spoil the entire crop. Usakhelauri yields only 1 kg of grapes per plant, but uses all its capacity and strength to make this single kilogram special.
