Areva 2022

Areva means confusion or mix in Georgian.

Indeed, this wine is born on a confusion, a misunderstanding of grape identity.

 

Aladasturi grapes grow in Western Georgian regions of Guria and Imereti. However, there is also a grape called Aladasturi in Eastern Georgian regions of Kakheti and Kartli that is in fact a completely different grape. This grape was in reality Moldova, a table grape, that give very juicy and fresh direct press wines.

​

The first release of Areva was made from Moldova.

​

However now blend has moved to Tavkveri, Chinuri and Goruli Mstvane.

​

Since 2020,  Areva is a rose "Pétillant Naturel".

 

Wine was fermented in Qvevri and old oak barrels and was bottled when sugars dropped to a SG of 1,004.
