Askaneli Brothers Chacha Platinum is a premium Georgian grape distillate from the Kakheti region, crafted from selected local varieties such as Rkatsiteli, Kakhuri Mtsvane, and Tsolikauri, with a focus on purity and varietal expression. Unlike oak-aged styles, this “Platinum” version is not matured in wood, allowing it to retain a crystal-clear appearance and a more direct aromatic profile of fresh grapes.
The nose is clean and expressive, with notes of white flowers, green apple, and subtle herbal nuances, supported by hints of dried fruit. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced despite its strength, offering a mild sweetness, delicate nutty tones, and a long, clean, warming finish.
This style highlights a modern interpretation of traditional chacha, emphasizing freshness, clarity, and a refined structure without the influence of oak.
Producer
Askaneli is a Georgian winery founded by the Chkhaidze brothers, building on a family winemaking tradition that dates back to the 1880s in the village of Askana, Guria. The historic cellar established by their ancestor Antimoz Chkhaidze, along with traditional qvevri vessels, remains an important part of the winery’s identity.
Today, the company operates as a vertically integrated producer, managing the entire process from vineyard cultivation to bottling under certified quality standards. Its vineyards extend across key regions such as Kakheti, including the Kindzmarauli appellation, as well as Guria, where rare indigenous varieties like Chkhaveri are preserved.
Production combines traditional Georgian techniques - especially qvevri fermentation - with modern winemaking technology, resulting in a diverse portfolio of over 60 wine labels, alongside sparkling wines, brandy, chacha, and fruit distillates. Askaneli Brothers is considered one of the leading wine producers in Georgia, with a strong presence in international markets.
The winery plays an active role in preserving native grape varieties while adapting to contemporary production standards. Its overall approach reflects a balance between heritage, scale, and consistency in quality.
