🍷 Chateau Lechkhumi Usakhelouri - Okureshis Usakhelouri 2021 is a semi-sweet red wine made from 100% Usakhelouri grapes. It comes from the Zubi–Okureshi microzone in Lechkhumi, with grapes grown on the terraced slopes of Ckhakuri. The 750ml bottle contains 12.1% alcohol and offers a distinctive way to explore this Georgian variety through a clearly identified place and vintage.
🫐 Its light cherry colour introduces an expressive berry bouquet, with blueberry and currant among the aromatic notes. The taste is balanced and harmonious, while the producer describes a pronounced varietal character and a long, pleasant finish. Together, these qualities make it an appealing choice when you want a red wine with a semi-sweet style and an aromatic presence.
🏞️ Origin is central to this bottle’s identity. The name Okureshis Usakhelouri connects the wine with its home in Lechkhumi, and the terraced vineyards give the story a precise geographical setting. Produced by Chateau Lechkhumi Usakhelouri using the classic method, this is a single-variety wine that keeps the focus on Usakhelouri and its particular expression in the 2021 harvest.
🧀 For the table, we suggest trying it with a cheese selection, fresh fruit or a lightly sweet dessert. These pairings are starting points rather than rules: taste a small glass first, then choose an accompaniment that suits you. We recommend serving around 12–14°C, allowing the wine a little time in the glass as it gradually warms.
🎁 The textured cream label and gold vineyard illustration give the bottle an understated presentation for a gift or dinner invitation. It also suits an after-dinner tasting with friends who enjoy discovering Georgian wines. Keep it away from direct sunlight in a cool place, and refrigerate the securely closed bottle after opening.
