The wine region of Racha
Mountainous region of north-west Georgia (Racha-Lechkhumi), vineyards on the right bank of the Rioni river on Likhi slopes at 450–750 m. Aleksandreuli and Mujuretuli are the signature reds, blended exclusively for the mythical Khvanchkara: a naturally semi-sweet deep ruby red with intense notes of raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, violet and spice, velvety tannins and an enchanting bouquet. The ancestral homeland of qvevri winemaking.
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: Destemming
Operation consisting in eliminating the vegetal part of the bunch supporting the berries, its maceration with the must giving a herbaceous taste to the wine.
