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.

Rare native Usakhelauri and Otskhanuri Sapere. Textured Tsolikouri in whites.
