Information:
Krakhuna is Imeretian grape variety, from which strong and full bodied wines are produced with ripe fruit and honey aromas. It is an ideal combination of strong character and pleasure. Our Krakhuna is perfect also for ageing, becoming much deeper and remarkable with years.
Vinification
We pick the selected grapes at 18-21% of sugariness and 7.5-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing, we move the juice to the cleansing reservoir, keeping it there for 15-18 hours. Then, the clear juice is removed from the sediment and moved into fermentation reservoirs. We add the pure culture yeast. The fermentation proceeds at a low temperature of 12-15°C degrees.
