Produced in limited quantity, this rare famous Georgian blend has a fresh lively bouquet of plums and strawberry. Notes of strawberry, black currant and blackberry on the palate. Pleasant tannins provide a perfect balance that is atypical of most semi sweet wines. Serve slightly chilled.

Khvanchkara grapes are gown in small plots in the rocky high altitude vineyards of the Racha-Lechkhumi appellation. This pristine forested natural environment is detectable in the soil and the wines. Considered to be Georgia's most exclusive and prestigious appellation.
