Khareba is a large company working hard of late to renovate its offer – in part with some well-packaged, complex blends bringing together varieties from both Eastern and Western Georgia under the ‘Prince Giorgi’ and ‘Queen Tamar’ names. Among its classically fermented varietals, I was particularly taken with this Krakhuna from the Imereti region. It has scents of fruit blossom, shy Alpine flowers and sweet apples, with a clear, fresh palate showing pungent, crisp flavours of impressive delicacy.
