Shida Kakheti
The eastern edge of Kakheti leans toward oxidative whites and skin-contact amber wines, where the continental climate demands long hang times and producers accept browning as honesty rather than fault. It's where Georgian winemaking's oldest instincts—maceration, amphorae, negligible sulfur—meet grapes that can handle the heat without losing mineral grip.
