Information
Kvanchkara is one of the nation’s rarest and most precious wines. The original wine of Khvanchkara is produced since 1932, although wines of this style were produced much earlier. Khvanchkara continues to be one of the most popular wines nowadays - both in Georgia and abroad. Our Khvanchkara is the best specimen of this style wine.
Vinification
We pick the selected grapes at 23-25% of sugariness and 7,5-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing 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 18-22°C. As soon as the sugar level goes down to 7-5% during the fermentation, we cool it down to 3 degrees to stop fermentation and store it at -2-3°C degrees after filtration.
