the famous Georgian semi-sweet wine Khvanchkara is a blend made of Mujuretuli and Alexandrouli. Mujuretuli is harvested when it reaches 23% of sugars and 5-6 g/l of acidity. The most important quality wines are produced in micro areas in the Tola-Khvanchkara areas. The wines are dark ruby red coloured, particularly pleasant, with a harmonious and velvety taste. The average chemical parameters of the wine are as follows: 11-12% alcohol content, 3-6% residual sugars and 6-7.2 g/l acidity.
