Okro's Wines
A nose with notes of yellow peaches, exotic fruits, honey, and a hint of hazelnut... Palate: dry, taut, with well-integrated tannins, and plenty of freshness. To be shared around the table with a few friends: this is a one-way ticket to Georgia!

A cuvée of 100% Mtsvane, from vines that have never been touched by chemicals, planted at 750 metres altitude in the prestigious Manavi appellation in eastern Georgia. Vinification: whole bunches of grapes are placed in qvevris – large Georgian amphorae buried up to their necks in the winery – followed by two weeks of maceration (which is not much for a Georgian orange wine), but then 21 months of maturation in qvevri. Bottled on the 11th of June 2020, without filtration or fining, and zero added sulphur.
