Salkhino Ojaleshi
1 min
Ojaleshi PDO comes from Samegrelo, a humid subtropical region in western Georgia. It is known for producing red wines that are aromatic, fresh, and versatile, reflecting the unique local terroir.
Vineyards are planted on fertile soils near the coast, where humidity and warm temperatures create ideal conditions for grape development. These factors contribute to the wine's rich color, aromatic intensity, and balanced structure.
Ojaleshi wines are made exclusively from the Ojaleshi grape, a native variety prized for its expressive fruit character and natural balance. Both dry and semi-sweet styles are produced, showcasing the grape's versatility.
Medium-bodied with deep red color, Ojaleshi wines offer aromas of dark berries, cherries, and subtle spice. They pair beautifully with meat dishes, grilled vegetables, and traditional Georgian cuisine.
Today, Ojaleshi PDO is gaining recognition both locally and internationally. Its expressive, approachable style highlights the diversity of Georgia's lesser-known wine regions and adds depth to the country's viticultural heritage.
