If you are looking for where to try Qvevri Rkatsiteli and Tsitska Pet-Nat in Batumi, the wine bar and beach project LEVEL offers the best list of natural, biodynamic, and orange wines from Adjara and all of Georgia. We’ve gathered the most exciting finds: from traditional clay vessels to bold craft bottles. Check out our wine list to explore all selections, or learn more about the concept on the main page.

Qvevri Rkatsiteli and Amber Style: Classics of the Genre

Georgian winemaking is impossible to imagine without clay qvevri. The method of fermentation and aging in underground clay vessels makes the wine full-bodied, tannic, and incredibly aromatic.

At our wine bar in Batumi, the following are especially popular:

• Qvevri Rkatsiteli — a classic amber profile with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and spices.
• Amber Krakhuna and Amber Kisi — vibrant examples of orange wines with a rich, astringent taste and long skin contact.

These selections pair perfectly with food. Try them alongside our signature dishes — for instance, order nadugi spheres with adjika or a cheese platter featuring local winemakers from the kitchen menu. And if you prefer other styles, check out our guide on the top 5 chacha cocktails in Batumi.

Tsitska Pet-Nat and Other Sparkling Experiments

For lovers of lively sparklers with no added sulfur dioxide, we recommend trying Tsitska Pet-Nat. The natural bottle-fermentation method gives this wine a gentle fizz, refreshing acidity, and a clean fruit profile.

This is a fantastic Georgian wine for a hot evening by the sea or as a pre-dinner apéritif. If you want to dive deeper into tastings, keep an eye on our announcements in the events and tastings section — we regularly host gatherings with sommeliers and local winemakers.

What to Pair with Orange Wines

Orange (amber) wines boast a bold character and full body, meaning they easily hold their own against complex flavors. On the LEVEL menu, you will find ideal pairings:

• Duck with tkemali-demiglace sauce.
• Saperavi beef tartare.
• Delicate Black Sea flounder.
