Genel bakış
Kakheti hakkında
Kakheti lies in the east of Georgia, in the Alazani valley between the Greater Caucasus and the Gombori range, and it produces most of the country's wine. Saperavi, a red-fleshed grape, makes dark, acidic reds, and Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane and Kisi are the leading whites.
Here the traditional method is to ferment white grapes on their skins in qvevri, which gives amber wines with tannin and a deep colour.
