Hoge Vivino Score: 4.2
As if time has stood still, they still make wines in Georgia in enormous earthenware amphorae, which they call qvevris. The Romans already did that, until they invented wooden barrels. They were easier to transport. Red wine from a qvevri is fruitier and more intense than from a wooden barrel. The qvevri itself does not release any flavor, but the peels soak in the wine much longer.
This red qvevri wine is a tasty example. Sturdy, but also flexible. Pure red fruit of berries and cherries. Mild chocolate bitters, licorice and a trace of liqueur. We understand why the Georgians never stopped using their qvevris.

Kakheti

Kakheti in eastern Georgia is by far the country's most important wine region. More than two thirds of all Georgian wine comes from here. The area is best known for the red Saperavi grape and the white Rkatsiteli, and for the centuries-old tradition of making wine in qvevri, large clay vessels buried in the ground. Since 2013 this method has been on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.
