This is what good wine from the Danakharuli grape tastes like

Danakharuli is a rare Georgian blue grape. It grows on a small scale in the Kartlia region. We know of one wine made exclusively from Danakharuli. It's not too heavy and tastes of cherries, blackberries, and licorice. According to Georgians, it's a very ancient grape variety. Georgian Queen Tamara drank wine made from it as early as the 12th century.

More than five hundred different grape varieties grow in Georgia. But the communists considered a handful sufficient. And as a result, many of those grape varieties have all but disappeared. But that's slowly changing. Or rather, quite rapidly. Because every time we return to Georgia, another forgotten grape is rediscovered. And another winemaker is pressing wine from it.

For example, Niko Chochishvili of Kapistoni Winery surprised us with Danakharuli. And now Pheasant's Tears is also making a blend of Danakharuli and Chinuri. Danakharuli is grown in the Kartlia province, around the capital, Tbilisi. On a very modest scale. But that could very well change in the coming years.

We currently have one wine made from the Danakharuli grape in our range. You can view our Danakharuli wine here.
