The wine region of Imereti
Wine region of west-central Georgia in the Rioni gorges, humid subtropical climate moderated by the mountains. Traditional vinification in churi (buried jars, close to the qvevri). Signature indigenous whites: Tsolikouri (the most planted — citrus, apple, flowers, honey), lively, floral Tsitska (in sparkling), ample Krakhuna (pear, apricot). Otskhanuri Sapere is the flagship red: deep and tannic (black cherry, plum, herbs, leather).
The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
