Tavkveri is a native Georgian grape that produces juicy and lively wines. The grape is cultivated in eastern and central Georgia, mainly in Kakheti and Kartli. It is used for varietals and red and rosé blends. Tavkveri is suitable for various wine styles and can be used for classic styles and regional qvevri (amphora) wines.
Because they typically have an approachable and easy-drinking character, these wines can be enjoyed young. They usually have red and dark fruit aromas reminiscent of cherries, raspberries, plums, and blackcurrants. Sometimes, they will have some balsamic nuances and subtle spicy or earthy notes.
