Grape variety:

Otskhanuri Sapere is considered one of Georgia's oldest grape varieties and grows mainly in the Imereti wine region of western Georgia. however, its original region is a village "Otskhana" in the Guria wine region. "Otskhana" means "colorful, , sapere" – "dyer." The grape variety has a very intense dark raspberry colour and is therefore also mixed with the other wines to give colour to the others. Otskhanuri Sapere is suitable as a late-ripening and low-yielding grape variety.
