Georgian wine
Georgian wine is one of the oldest wine traditions in the world, dating back over 8,000 years. It is primarily produced in the Kakheti region, known for its diverse grape varieties and unique winemaking techniques. The traditional method involves fermenting grapes in large clay vessels called qvevri, which are buried underground, allowing for natural fermentation and aging.
The most common grape varieties used in Georgian wine include Saperavi for red wines and Rkatsiteli for white wines. Georgian wines are often characterized by their rich flavors and aromas, reflecting the country's diverse terroir. Today, Georgian wine is gaining international recognition for its quality and unique characteristics.
