A medium sweet Georgian wine in pottery vessel


We got given a bottle of this wine by a friend the other day, a bottle of Georgian wine in clay vessel. This is similar to the sort of wines I blogged about earlier. This turns out to be a semisweet red wine made from four different indigenous grapes - Saperavi, Aleksandrouli, Mujuretuli and Ojaleshi. I am sure I had tasted the first two and probably the third, but the last seem rather foreign to me. VIVC tells me there are 3 black grapes with Ojaleshi in its name, and some other source on the Internet tells me that Ojaleshi is also a place. Now untangling that is going to be fun! The wine is supposed to have 30-50 g/l residual sugar, which places it in the medium sweet category. I suppose I will find out about the rest when I open the bottle and taste it.
