This is what good wine from the Dzelshavi grape tastes like

The Dzelshavi is a very unknown Georgian grape that produces relatively light, playful red wines with plenty of red fruit and laurel spiciness.

Dzelshavi grapes are grown in the Georgian wine region of Racha. This is a small wine region known primarily for its semi-sweet red wines. Several winemakers, however, make dry red wines from Dzelshavi, and sometimes even white sparkling wines.

Dzelshavi grapes have thin skins, producing relatively light red wines. They can, however, be quite alcoholic. Dzelshavi grapes have been documented since the fifth century AD, making them one of the oldest wine grapes in Georgia, and perhaps even the world.
