Kakhuri Gvinis Marani 2022 Khvanchkara Semi Sweet Red Wine Racha-Lechkhumi Georgia
🍷 Kakhuri Gvinis Marani 2022 Khvanchkara Semi-Sweet Red Wine
Racha-Lechkhumi, Georgia | AOC Khvanchkara | 100% Indigenous Grapes
Georgia’s Most Beloved Semi-Sweet Red, Crafted from Ancient Grapes in the High Caucasus
The Kakhuri Gvinis Marani 2022 Khvanchkara Semi-Sweet Red Wine is a classic Georgian treasure born in the AOC Khvanchkara zone of Racha-Lechkhumi, one of the most prestigious winemaking areas in the Caucasus mountains. Made from 100% indigenous Alexandreuli and Mujuretuli grapes, this wine is naturally semi-sweet, celebrated for its velvety texture, lush fruit character, and elegant structure.
Racha-Lechkhumi’s cool, high-altitude climate and mineral-rich soils are perfect for producing low-alcohol wines with naturally retained sweetness and vibrant acidity—hallmarks of this traditional style.
🍇 Grape Varietals & Region
- Grapes: Alexandreuli & Mujuretuli – rare red varieties native to Georgia, known for their deep color, floral aromas, and natural sugar levels
- Region: Racha-Lechkhumi (Khvanchkara AOC) – a cool-climate mountainous wine region in northwestern Georgia known for exceptional semi-sweet red wines
- Alcohol: 12%
- Winemaking Style: Naturally semi-sweet, with fermentation halted before full dryness to preserve fruit sugars—no added sweeteners
🍷 Tasting Notes
- Color: Deep dark ruby with glints of garnet
- Aroma: Inviting notes of ripe dark berries, fresh cherry, and subtle wild herbs
-
Palate:
- Smooth, velvety, and refined
- Bursting with black cherry, raspberry compote, and sweet plum
- Delicate sweetness balanced by lively acidity and soft tannins
- Elegant, persistent finish with a hint of nutty complexity
🍽️ Food Pairing Recommendations
Perfectly suited for:
- Cherry pie, berry tarts, and fruit-based desserts
- Traditional Georgian walnut sweets, baklava, or nut-filled pastries
- Fresh fruits, roasted nuts, and mild blue or soft cheeses
Serve slightly chilled for a refreshing twist on this time-honored Georgian favorite.
🌍 About the Region & Heritage
The Racha-Lechkhumi region is a hidden gem of Georgian winemaking, nestled in the Caucasus Mountains and known for its pristine terroir, ancient grape varieties, and long-standing winemaking traditions. The Khvanchkara AOC, a protected designation of origin, produces some of the finest semi-sweet reds in the country, made exclusively from Alexandreuli and Mujuretuli.
These two grapes thrive in this mountainous environment, developing rich aromatics and natural sweetness. The result is a wine that’s both expressive and balanced, perfect for lovers of naturally sweet, elegant reds.
🏅 Why This Wine Stands Out
- A rare and authentic example of natural semi-sweet red wine from Georgia
- Produced from indigenous grapes grown only in Khvanchkara AOC
- Soft, smooth texture and perfectly balanced sweetness
- An ideal choice for dessert, casual sipping, or special occasions
- Crafted by Kakhuri Gvinis Marani, a trusted name in traditional Georgian winemaking
