Where to Try Pet-Nat and Orange Wines in Batumi: A Guide to Sparklings and Qvevri at LEVEL Bar

If you are looking for natural wine in Batumi, forget about boring mass-market labels. Georgia is the birthplace of qvevri, where wine is made using ancient techniques, while modern winemakers boldly experiment with pét-nats. At LEVEL Wine Bar, we have curated a list that combines the wild spirit of autochthonous grapes with the pure pleasure of modern biodynamics.

Orange and Amber Wines: The Magic of Clay Vessels

Orange wine (or amber wine) is not a separate grape variety, but white grapes fermented with their skins, seeds, and stems in clay vessels buried underground—qvevri. The result is a drink with a bold character, structured tannic body, and notes of dried fruit, spices, and walnuts.

Be sure to check out these selections on our wine list:

• Krakhuna Amber — vibrant and full of character.
• Kisi Amber — deep and aromatic.
• Rkatsiteli Qvevri — a classic style with a modern touch.

These wines pair exceptionally well with food. Try them with dishes from our kitchen menu—such as local Black Sea turbot or a cheese board from local producers.

Pét-Nats: Sparkling Insolence

Pét-nat (short for pétillant naturel) is the ancient ancestral method of making sparkling wine. The wine is bottled before primary fermentation finishes, without added sugar or yeast. The result is unpredictable and wonderful: lively bubbles, slight haziness, low alcohol, and incredible drinkability.

Looking for something refreshing? Our pride is Tsitska Pét-Nat. It is an explosion of freshness, citrus notes, and an absolute hit for those tired of generic Prosecco.

Now you can enjoy your favorite pét-nats and orange wines not only in the main lounge, but also at our second location—LEVEL Beach on the New Boulevard.
