Churi Chinebuli Pet-Nat — a lively, bold, and incredibly refreshing sparkling wine from Imereti, created using the ancient and natural "ancestral" method (pétillant naturel). Here is its brief and juicy portrait:
Color: Light golden, slightly hazy (which is natural for pet-nats), with a delicate "pearl-like" play of bubbles.
Aroma: A true explosion of freshness! It features bright notes of green apple, ripe lime, and wildflowers, elegantly complemented by delicate hints of fresh baked goods and mineral nuances.
Taste: Energetic, "crisp," and perfectly balanced. The wine has lively acidity and a pure fruit profile from the rare Chinuri variety. The finish offers a pleasant coolness and soft citrus bitterness.
Style: This is an "honest" natural wine that matured directly in the bottle under a crown cap (like lemonade). It preserved all the primordial energy of the grapes and a touch of wild, free character.
This wine is the perfect choice for a picnic, a terrace party, or a vibrant aperitif. It will beautifully accentuate the flavors of seafood, grilled fish, light salads, or goat cheese.
It is recommended to serve well chilled at 6–8 °C to fully enjoy its invigorating energy.
