Details and technical informations about Winery Suliko's Khvanchkara Red Medium Sweet.
Discover the grape variety: Gros Verdot
Deep-coloured, simple reds with an intense ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), soft spices and herbaceous notes. Profile for drinking young. Now marginal, preserved in INRAE varietal collections and a few heritage plots in the Bordelais and Médoc. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, not to be confused with Petit Verdot, a witness to ancient Aquitaine varieties.

The wine region of Khvanchkara
Georgian appellation north-west of Ambrolauri (Racha), vineyards at 450-750 m on humo-carbonate soils.

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: Garrigue
Notes reminiscent of aromatic Mediterranean herbs such as thyme or rosemary, found in many southern wines.
