Barakoni wine
Barakoni red wine is grown on the steep slopes of the Rioni gorge in the mountainous western region of Racha in Georgia. This wine, made from Alexandreuli and Mudzhuretuli grapes, is naturally semi-dry. Barakoni contains 10-12% alcohol, 1.5-2.5% sugar and has 5-7% titrated acidity.
Produced since 1981, Barakoni wine is named after the Georgian Orthodox Barakoni Church of the Mother of God, commonly known as Barakoni. It is an important surviving example of the medieval tradition of Georgian architecture.
