Baia's Winery
RAW wines Tsitska-Tsolikouri and Krakhuna white dry wines produced in Winery Baia’s Wine deserve special attention.
“5 wines to try when you're in the mood to pour something different” - says Dave McIntyre in Washington Post.
“Exceptional”, “Excellent”, “Very Good” – the epithets are granted to the skin-fermented white wines also called “orange” or “amber” wines.
“These are a niche category that continues to grow in number and styles. They may be aged in traditional clay vessels called qvevri for a long or short period, or they may be made in more modern oak and stainless-steel vessels”.
