Description

What is Qvevri Amber Wine?

Grown from 100% Khikhvi grapes in the appellation-controlled microzone of Napareuli in Kakheti, Khikhvi Qvevri wines gain a unique character from an ancient tradition.

Buried underground for six months in earthenware pots (Qvevris), the fermentation process sees the Khikhvi Wine enriched with grape skin characteristics under a regulated temperature, that gives it strong tannins similar to those of a red wine. 

This wine is a good choice if you prefer a robust and bold wine with a unique honeyed flavor. On the palate, amber wines are big, dry, and even have tannin like a red wine.

The Silk Road Wine team recommends enjoying Khikhvi Qvevri wine slightly chilled at around 54–61°F.
