More Georgian! Dank — 7 years ago
This is a delight and drinking gorgeously. Reminds me of sitting at a cafe in Tibilisi years ago. A good memory i’ve been chasing for almost a decade. Strong dark red color with dried cherries, leather, and chocolate on the nose. Structure is great, the tannins are not too intense and acidity is just right. Prunes and spice, a little earth.

Ocho, “Do You Wonder?” Tavkveri Rosé – Kakheti, Georgia, 2022
Overview
A refreshing and expressive rosé from Georgia’s Kakheti region, crafted from the indigenous Tavkveri grape. This bottle brings both curiosity and charm, living up to its playful name.
Aromas & Flavors
Vibrant red berries dominate the nose—think wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate—accented by rose petals and a light herbal touch. On the palate, juicy cranberry and tart cherry notes shine, balanced with citrus zest and a mineral undertone.
Mouthfeel
Crisp and lively. Light to medium body with mouthwatering acidity, finishing clean and slightly savory, inviting sip after sip.
Food Pairing
A versatile rosé: pair it with grilled vegetables, fresh summer salads, or light mezze spreads. It also complements Georgian khachapuri or simple grilled fish beautifully.
Verdict
A bright and joyful expression of Tavkveri in rosé form. Fun, food-friendly, and a delightful reminder of the diversity Georgia brings to the wine world. A rosé that keeps you coming back to the glass with a smile. Cheers! — 13 days ago
