Baia's Krakhuna Blend - Baia's Wine

Baia's Wine 2022 | Tsitska, Tsolikouri, Krakhuna | Georgia - Imereti | Medium, White, Dry | 13% | Cork, Wax | Low Intervention | Drink now

A blend of three indigenous Imeretian varieties Krakhuna (20%), Tsitska (20%), and Tsolikouri (60%) made by the very talented young female winemaker Baia Abuladze. This is the most light and delicate of Baia's white/amber wines thanks to the Krakhuna variety. All three varieties have high acidity and have often traditionally been used for sparkling wine for their acid and mineral content. All the fruit is estate grown in the vineyards in the village of Obcha, hand-picked and hand sorted. After de-stemming the wine is pressed and put into Churi (the Imeretian name for Qvevri) with partial skins and fermentation starts spontaneously.

Tasting Notes

This light amber wine has aromas of sharron fruit, apricot and citrus, with honeycomb and sweet spice on the mid pallet with a long finish highlighted by low to moderate tannin.
