Akhasheni PDO, also from Kakheti, produces naturally semi-sweet red wines with a charming and approachable style. The region is historically known for its high-quality table wines and hospitality-centered production.
Vineyards are planted on fertile, well-drained soils with a warm climate that allows grapes to develop both sugar and acidity. Gentle slopes ensure even sun exposure, enhancing grape maturation and flavor concentration.
Akhasheni wines are made exclusively from the Saperavi grape, harvested carefully to balance natural sweetness and structure. This results in wines that are aromatic, flavorful, and versatile.
Medium-bodied with deep red color, Akhasheni wines offer aromas of ripe berries, floral hints, and subtle spice. They pair well with desserts, cheeses, and traditional Georgian dishes.
Today, Akhasheni PDO is recognized both domestically and internationally for its friendly style and quality. It continues to be a favorite among wine enthusiasts seeking semi-sweet red wines from Georgia.
