Ocho Chinuri 2022

General Information

Ocho Chinuri is a lively amber wine from the village of Plevi, located in the Kartli wine region in central Georgia. The wine is made from the white grape Chinuri, a variety that has been cultivated in this region for centuries and symbolizes local winemaking.

The wine is fully naturally vinified: spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, no additives, and one month of skin contact in qvevri. This results in a wine with subtle structure, depth, and fresh elegance – typical of amber wines from Kartli.
