The Art of Amber Wines: A Gastronomic Guide to 5 Qvevri Varieties and LEVEL's Signature Dishes
Dive into the world of orange wines: we break down 5 qvevri varieties and pair them with perfect gastronomic matches at LEVEL.
What is Amber Qvevri and Why You Should Try It
Amber qvevri is not just wine; it is an 8,000-year-old tradition sealed within a clay vessel. If you are looking for where to drink wine in Batumi, discovering the "orange" style will be the highlight of your vacation. Unlike standard white wines, ambers are fermented with their skins and seeds, gaining tannins, structure, and that distinct amber hue.
At our bar, we pay special attention to this category. If you want to delve deeper into the topic, we recommend reading our gastronomic guide to amber qvevri pairings. Better yet, join us for our "8,000 Years of Qvevri" lecture on July 21st. It's a great way to start your wine tasting in Batumi in a relaxed atmosphere.
5 Varieties That Change Your Perception of Wine
Our wine list features rare gems. Here are 5 selections you must try:
- Rkatsiteli Qvevri — a classic with a powerful character.
- Kisi Amber — a floral and honeyed profile, perfect for starting the evening.
- Krakhuna Amber — high acidity with bright fruit notes.
- Chinuri — light, mineral, like a breath of fresh air.
- Tsolikauri — distinctive, with a slight bitterness loved by connoisseurs.
These wines require the right accompaniment. The kitchen at LEVEL offers dishes created specifically for these varieties: try our Saperavi-beef tartare or risotto with matsoni and truffle, where the creaminess highlights the tannins of the amber qvevri.
Gastronomy and Culture: More Than Just Dinner
If you are wondering where to eat well in Batumi, our chef has prepared a menu where every dish is an answer to the character of Georgian wine. Duck with tkemali-demi-glace or Black Sea flounder will reveal themselves in a completely new way when paired with the right glass.
We believe that Georgian wine is a reason to connect. On July 25th, we are hosting a grand gastronomic dinner: 5 ambers × 5 courses (price 120₾). This is the perfect chance to see food pairing in action.
