The Khvanchkara from the similarly named Royal Khvanchkara winery is a soft red wine produced in the Racha region. An iconic wine for Georgia along with Kindzmarauli and Usakhelkauri wines.
The wine is made from Alexandrouli and Mujurethuli grape varieties grown in the Khvanchkara micro-zone. The ideal drinking temperature for this wine is between 12-14°C. Not only is the name of this Khvanchkara beautiful, but the wine is also characterized by a beautiful ruby-red color.
At the first sip, aromas of raspberries and red fruit unfold. The surprising combination of sweetness and acidity makes this wine smooth and velvety.
Definitely recommended if you want to try a different type of wine than what we are used to in Europe!
The delicious combined sweetness in this wine makes it easy to pair with a dessert. If there are nuts or chocolate in the dessert, it pairs well with this wine.
