It is worth noting that the grape variety "Alexandrouli" grows only in Racha. He tried to grow in other bands and latitudes, but the matter did not succeed. This can be explained by the special climatic and geographical conditions of Raca, surrounded by mountains. So the unique grapes remained the pride of the Georgian territory.

You almost do not feel the unpleasant taste of alcohol or just alcohol, because the sweetness blocks them. This phenomenon is very proud of Georgian winemakers. The whole point is that the very process of direct fermentation of wine at some point is artificially interrupted by the so-called "cold method".
