The wine region of Khvanchkara
Georgian appellation north-west of Ambrolauri (Racha), vineyards at 450-750 m on humo-carbonate soils. Natural semi-sweet red signatures (Aleksandrouli 60% + Mujuretuli 40%) with deep ruby colour and velvety palate: vibrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, candied raspberry, plum, liquorice and a cinnamon touch, natural sugars from over-ripening. Historic Georgian banquet wine (since 1927). Millenary qvevri tradition.
The wine region of Racha-Lechkhumi
Prestigious small region in north-west Georgia in the high Caucasus valleys, altitude vineyards on schisto-calcareous soils. Aleksandrouli is the native king in reds: full-bodied and rich with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, spices and a floral touch, dense tannins — blended with Mujuretuli for the flagship Khvanchkara (legendary semi-sweet red, favourite of Stalin). Rare native Usakhelauri and Otskhanuri Sapere. Textured Tsolikouri in whites.
The word of the wine: Hard
A harsh, biting wine, characterized by an excess of tannins and acidity. It is often said of young wines that lack smoothness.
