WINEMAKER: John Okruashvili
REGION: Kakheti, GE
VARIETAL: Rkatsiteli
VITICULTURE: Organic
Founded in 2004 by John Okruashvili, Okro’s Wines focuses on producing fine natural wine from regional Eastern Georgian grape varieties. All Okro’s wines are made with traditional Georgian techniques, and grapes are harvested organically with no chemical additives. Six Georgian varieties of grapes are grown on Okro’s 5.5-hectare estate: Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Saperavi, Budeshuri, Tsolikouri, and Tavkveri.
Okro’s Wines sits in the mountainous village of Sighnaghi in Georgia’s eastern Kakheti region, which is famous for its history and culture of wine production. The fertile Alazani River Valley and the Caucasus Mountains stretch north of the winery, with Georgia’s capital Tbilisi 110 kilometers away.
John grew up with John Wurdemann’s wife Ketevan (of Pheasant’s Tears fame) and it was through this friendship that the idea to start his own winery was formed. He spent the first 5 years experimenting and learning and officially bottled his first wine in 2010. He now crafts some of the most precise and pristine Georgian wines without any additions whatsoever.

Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
