Georgian wine grapes and native varieties

Georgian Wine Grapes

Native grape varieties are one of the strongest reasons Georgian wine feels distinct

Georgia preserves hundreds of native grape varieties, each shaped by a particular landscape, climate, and local winemaking tradition.

In Kakheti, Rkatsiteli and Saperavi are essential starting points: one is a versatile white grape closely associated with amber qvevri wine, while the other produces deeply colored, structured reds.
