Akhasheni
Akhasheni is a renowned wine subregion within Kakheti, Georgia's premier wine-producing region, located in the eastern part of the country. The area is particularly known for producing semi-sweet red wines from the Saperavi grape variety, which thrives in the region's unique microclimate characterized by limestone-rich soils and continental influences. Akhasheni wines are traditionally made using traditional Georgian winemaking techniques, including extended skin contact and aging in qvevri (clay amphorae).
