Fun Fact

Black Muscat is not an official grape variety name, but here it refers to a blend with a high proportion of Muscat, which is rarely used in red Georgian wines. Together with the fruity Tavkveri and the powerful Saperavi, it creates a remarkably light qvevri wine with a very distinctive character. Beka Nasrashvili demonstrates how versatile the Georgian wine tradition can be – even within the realm of natural red wines.
