Read moreThe Manavi appellation is situated in Outer Kakheti, where a slightly cooler microclimate allows the grapes to retain excellent natural acidity. This premium white wine is deeply rooted in local traditions. While winemakers produce fresh European-style expressions here, the region is also famous for its amber (orange) wines crafted using ancient clay vessels called Qvevri.
Thanks to its refreshing profile and fruit-forward character, Manavi wine is highly versatile at the dinner table. It beautifully complements grilled poultry, fish dishes, fresh salads, and traditional Georgian cheeses like Suluguni. It is an ideal alternative for wine lovers looking to expand their horizons beyond classic European varieties.
Which grapes are used to produce Manavi wine?
By Georgian wine regulations, authentic Manavi must be made from 100% Mtsvane Kakhuri grapes, though up to 15% of Rkatsiteli can sometimes be blended in to add structure.
Is this wine made in Qvevri vessels?
Manavi can be made using modern European methods in stainless steel tanks (resulting in a light, crisp wine) or via the traditional method in skin-contact Qvevri, which gives the wine an amber color and complex tannins.
What is the recommended serving temperature?
Classic white Manavi is best served chilled at 8–10 °C, while Qvevri-style amber expressions should be served slightly warmer, around 12–14 °C, to release their complex aromas.
