Dugladze Magical Tbilisi Kakhuri is a rich, amber wine made using Georgia’s ancient qvevri winemaking method, where the wine ferments and ages in clay vessels buried underground. Produced from handpicked Rkatsiteli grapes in the Kakheti region, this bold wine reveals complex flavours of dried fruits, nuts and subtle spice, with a full-bodied texture and a long, earthy finish.
This not your usual orange, amber wine. This is how wine is traditionally made in Georgia. Kakhuri is produced using a UNESCO reaffirmed traditional method of winemaking called Qvevri. The wine undergoes fermentation with skin contact in the Qvevri for 6 months causing a dazzling amber colour as well as well-expressed tannins. What also makes this wine interesting is that you will find grape skins floating around in the bottle due to the above process.
Colour: Amber
Aroma and taste: Aromas of spices and tones of peach, honey and tobacco
Palate: Energetic, well-expressed tannins
Georgia is celebrated as the "Cradle of Wine," a land with over 8,000 years of winemaking heritage. Here, the art of viticulture began as early as the Neolithic period, with wine crafted in ancient pre-Qvevri vessels, a tradition that has endured and evolved through millennia.
Even the word "wine" itself reflects Georgia's influence. Linguists trace its origin in European languages, vinum, vin, wine, wein, вино, back to the Georgian word “ghvino".
Diversity defines the wine regions of Georgia, each offering its own unique character shaped by distinct soils, climates and traditions. Home to 525 indigenous grape varieties, nearly one-sixth of the world’s total, Georgia offers an unparalleled diversity of flavours and wine styles.
