Bimbili Qvevri Tsolikouri is a dry amber wine made from the Tsolikouri grape, a variety typical of western Georgia, vinified in traditional qvevri with partial skin contact. It shows delicate yet expressive aromas of quince, pineapple, and ripe yellow fruit, accompanied by subtle herbal and spicy notes.
On the palate, it is elegant and medium-bodied, with a fine structure and well-integrated tannins and acidity that provide balance and drinkability. The finish is clean and persistent, with a light mineral touch reflecting the mountainous terroir of the Racha region.
The style leans toward a more refined and aromatic expression of qvevri wines, where the varietal character remains in focus rather than the winemaking technique.
Producer
Bimbili is a family-owned winery based in Ambrolauri, in Georgia’s Racha region, combining modern winemaking technology with traditional Georgian methods. It began as a small project and has developed into a contemporary winery equipped with European technology, while also preserving an old cellar and qvevri system, creating a balance between innovation and heritage.
Active on the market since around 2020, Bimbili focuses on limited but growing production, working primarily with indigenous grape varieties typical of Racha, such as Aleksandrouli and Mujuretuli. Their wines reflect the distinct terroir of this mountainous region, known for freshness, vibrant acidity, and the elegance of its red wines.
The winery is positioned in the mid-range segment with expanding export ambitions, already present in markets like Germany, Austria, and the United States. Despite its modernization, Bimbili maintains a strong family identity and a clear connection to local tradition, which is expressed through a balanced and approachable wine style with a defined regional character.
