Originally built in the 12th century, Chateau Mukhrani is a renowned Georgian winery with a centuries-old tradition. It was Prince Ivane Mukhranbatoni, upon his return from a trip to Bordeaux in the late 1800s, who planted the first vines with French and local varieties. The estate was later abandoned following phylloxera and was revived in 2002 when it underwent a complete renovation. Today, Chateau Mukhrani produces exceptional quality wines from indigenous and French varieties under the guidance of winemaker Patrick Honnef. Chateau Mukhrani Khvanchkara is a semi-sweet wine produced from a blend of Aleksandrouli and Mujuretuli grapes, endemic Georgian varieties. In the glass, it reveals an intense and bright ruby ​​color. Its aromatic profile is broad with notes of red fruits such as ripe raspberries, strawberries, and cherries and light hints of wood and nutty fruit. On the palate, it is round and delicate, with a good balancing acidity, fine tannins, and a velvety texture. It has a medium-light body and a good fruit concentration that make it perfect for meat dishes with fruity sauces, and with poultry. It is also excellent with fruit salads and red fruit tarts.
