Where to Try Saperavi and Alexandrouli in Batumi: A Guide to Georgian Red Wines at LEVEL Bar

Looking for a place to try authentic Georgian wine in Batumi? If you want to understand the soul of local winemaking, you should start with the red flagships: the powerful Saperavi and the refined Alexandrouli. Our wine bar was created specifically to introduce guests to the best regional selections without unnecessary pretension, but with a deep understanding of the subject.

If you are planning your itinerary and wondering where to go in the evening in Batumi, LEVEL is the ideal starting point. Our wine list features both classic choices and rare biodynamic releases from small wineries.

Saperavi: Character, Terroir, and Power

Saperavi is the absolute king of Georgian red varieties. The name of the grape translates as "the painter", and its wine truly boasts an impenetrable ink-ruby color and a full body.

In our wine list, Saperavi reveals itself in all its glory: from traditional table styles to aged qvevri versions with powerful tannins, notes of ripe cherry, black currant, prunes, and a subtle smoky hint. It is a dense, warming wine that is ideal for long evenings.

Dry Alexandrouli: Elegance from Racha

If Saperavi is about strength and drive, then dry Alexandrouli is about sophistication, velvety texture, and a delicate berry profile. This rare grape originates from the high-mountain region of Racha (traditionally used to make the famous semi-sweet Khvanchkara), but in a dry expression, it sounds completely new.

In a glass of dry Alexandrouli, you will find notes of ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, and warm spices. The wine turns out light, highly drinkable, with silky tannins—an excellent choice for a warm Batumi evening when you want something refined.

Gastronomy: What to Pair with Red Wines at LEVEL

Good wine calls for proper gastronomy. Our kitchen is crafted in the best traditions of a modern gastrobar with a Georgian accent.

• To accompany the bold and tannic Saperavi, we recommend our signature beef tartare or hearty duck with tkemali-demiglace sauce.
• The refined Alexandrouli pairs wonderfully with a cheese platter featuring local aged cheeses or other hot dishes from the menu.
