Georgian Wine - National Wine Agency

Wine "Akhoebi" was added to the PDOs registered in Georgia.
"Akhoebi" is a red dry wine. The micro-zone is located in the administrative territory of the village of Kardenakhi, Gurjaani Municipality. "Akhoebi" red can be made only from Saperavi or Budeshuri-like Saperavi grapes grown in the Akhoebi microzone and it is not allowed to use other varieties.
The geographical location of the Akhoebi micro-zone is the moderately warm winters and hot summers, the average amount of atmospheric precipitation, the brown, carbonate soils, the properties of the vine varieties specifically in this micro-zone determine the special organoleptic characteristics and distinction of the wine Akhoebi.
The National Center for Intellectual Property Sakpatenti was applied by "Kardenakhi Wine" with the request to register a geographical indication. Thus, the number of PDO wines has increased to 24: Kindzmarauli, Manavi, Kakheti, Napareuli, Teliani, Mukuzani, Tsinandali, Akhasheni, Gurjaani, Khvanchkara, Ateni, Sviri, Vazisubani, Kardenakhi, Tibaani, Tvishi, Kvareli, Kotekhi, Khashmis Saperavi, Bolnisi, Salkhino Ojale, Akhmeta, Tsarafi and Akhoebi.
This fact indicates the diversity of Georgian wine and is especially important for its popularization and growth of export potential.
