A gentle yet vivid expression of Imereti’s winemaking soul.
This amber dry wine is made from 100% Krakhuna, a rare and ancient white grape native to western Georgia. Cultivated in the hills of II Sviri village, in the Imereti region, this wine by Orkoli Winery is a pure reflection of place and tradition.
Using the Imeretian qvevri method, only one-third of the must ferments with skins, a technique that offers structure and character while keeping the wine elegant and approachable. Aged underground in clay vessels, this wine brings together old-world craftsmanship and vibrant fruit purity.
The Krakhuna amber wine result is a textured yet fresh amber wine with inviting notes of dried apricot, tropical fruit, and citrus peel. Its lively acidity and silky tannins make it versatile at the table—excellent for pairing with everything from light starters to rich, savoury dishes.
