Which Wine Is This?
Sooner or later someone at the table asks „so what is this wine?“ — and the answer is the tamada's job. Here are the Georgian grape varieties, grouped by region, the way you actually need them at a supra.
Kakheti
Most of the country's vineyard is here — and so is the qvevri classic.
რქაწითელი — Rkatsiteli
white- Sugar:
- 20–24%
The most widely planted Georgian variety. Left on the skins it gives amber Kakhetian wine; pressed the European way, something light and dry. Tsinandali, Gurjaani, Tibaani and Kardanakhi are all its names.
საფერავი — Saperavi
black- Sugar:
- 20–26%
- Ripens:
- from the second half of September
One of the rare varieties whose juice is red too — which is where the name comes from. Kindzmarauli, Akhasheni, Mukuzani and Napareuli are made from it.
ქისი — Kisi
whiteA Kakhetian variety that was nearly lost and has been brought back. In a qvevri it gives dried and stewed fruit; as a dry white it goes out under the name Khornabuji.
ხიხვი — Khikhvi
white- Sugar:
- up to 29%
A Kakhetian variety surviving on a small acreage. The sugar climbs very high, and honey and orchard fruit stay in the wine.
The rest is in the Tamada app.
