Not so long ago, UNESCO decided tolist of the intangible heritage of humanity Georgian way of winemaking. If in the whole world the wort is kept in barrels, in this Caucasian country, or rather in its region of Kakheti, huge clay jugs, Kvevri, are used in production. Mezgu fold in giant, two meters tall, amphorae, and then bury them in the ground. Rocky ground and sharp fluctuations of mountain climate create unique wines of Georgia. In each variety lurks its taste palette,aroma, history. Coming to this sunny hospitable region, the main thing is not to get lost and choose from excellent and just good drinks (as there are no bad wines here) the best.
Dry vintage
In Georgia, the old Soviet classification is adoptedof wines. Therefore, the word "branded" means the abbreviation DOC adopted in the countries of Western Europe, which means "quality control by origin". Thus it is noted that the vines for the production of this drink grow only in this region, and nowhere else. These are the best wines of Georgia. Of the white varieties, we can not fail to mention the pride of the country and the laureate of numerous international contests Tsinandali. Also wonderful are "Gurjaani", "Tibaani" and "Manawi."
Vintage red wines of Georgia also above all praise.Four gold and six silver medals won at international competitions dry "Teliani". Here is a vivid example of how an ordinary French variety of Cabernet-Sauvignon vines in the sunny mountain range generates bunches with an unusual taste of ripe cherry and the smell of violets. Little less than "Teliani" and "Napareuli", "Kvareli", " "Mukuzani". All these high-quality products are aged in oak barrels for at least three years.
Ordinary wines of Georgia
These drinks with a little sugar(dry), although they are not aged for as long as vintage, and are made from pulp, and not from wort, are nevertheless very worthy. "Kakheti" and "Shuamta" go through the process of fermentation in clay kvevri. Saperavi is a local variety of vine grown especially for these soils, climate, relief. The grapes ripen late, which gives this wine a dry note of autumn. But that's not all.
Semi-dry and semi-sweet wines of Georgia
Dessert and liqueur wines of Georgia
Contrary to popular belief that in the countrysweet drinks are produced, they are still there, and very good. "Anaga" reminds of the taste of Madeira - dark amber, saturated, with a long aftertaste with notes of almonds and chocolate. "Saami" is easy to drink, although it contains seventeen degrees. Pomegranate color "Salhino" is a typical liqueur wine, as well as white "Khikhvi".
In a word, make a choice and enjoy it!
