In Georgia and not sure which wine to try? A quick guide to the main Georgian wines so you can order with confidence.
Reds
- Saperavi — the flagship red: deep, full-bodied, dark-berried.
Whites and ambers
- Rkatsiteli — the classic white, fresh and easy.
- Kisi, Mtsvane — aromatic native grapes.
- Amber (orange) qvevri wine — white grapes on the skins in a clay vessel: amber colour, light tannins, Georgia's signature.
Sparkling
- Pét-nat — a "living" natural sparkling, light and on-trend.
Regions
Kakheti gives powerful reds; Imereti and Racha, lighter wines. See our full wine list.
The best way to learn is a tasting: several wines in one evening. And if you're choosing where to go, LEVEL will guide and pour.
