Georgian wine among 9 best European wines from non-EU countries
The Independent UK published 9 best European wines from non-EU countries to “help you survive a potential hard Brexit.”
Among the countries like Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, Switzerland, and Makedonia, two Georgian wines were named: Orovela Saperavi 2008 and Iberiuli Kisi Qvevris orange wine 2017.
“Georgia has an ancient tradition of winemaking which some say stretches back to Neolithic times. Happily, there’s nothing Stone Age about this superlative red wine, made from the indigenous saperavi grape, a hardy variety that’s known for its ability to cope with pretty chilly temperatures. It’s full to the brim with dark and red fruit flavors, complete with satisfying tannins and a long finish,” reads the article.
