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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
