The Art of Amber Wines: A Gastronomic Guide to 5 Qvevri Varieties and LEVEL's Signature Dishes

What is amber qvevri and why you should try it

Amber qvevri wine is not just a drink, it is an 8,000-year-old tradition sealed in a clay vessel. If you are looking for the best wine bars in Batumi and wondering where to drink natural wine in Batumi, discovering the orange style will be the highlight of your vacation. Unlike conventional white wines, ambers ferment with their skins and seeds, gaining tannin structure and that distinct amber hue.

At LEVEL Wine Bar, we pay special attention to this category. If you want to dive deeper into the topic, we recommend reading our gastronomic guide to amber wine pairings. Even better, book a wine tasting in Batumi with us to start your wine tasting batumi journey 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:

1. Rkatsiteli Qvevri — a classic with a bold character.
2. Kisi Amber — floral and honey notes, perfect for starting the evening.
3. Krakhuna Amber — high acidity and vibrant fruit aromas.
4. Chinuri — light and mineral, like a breath of fresh air.
5. Tsolikouri — distinctive with a subtle bitterness that connoisseurs adore.

These wines call for the right accompaniment. The LEVEL kitchen offers dishes created specifically for these styles: try our hearty shrimp risotto or signature pasta, where the bold flavors beautifully complement the tannins of amber qvevri.
