Bedoba Orange Wine, frequently referred to as the ‘cradle of wine’, Georgia is soaked in winemaking history, with various wine artefacts such as pruning knives and stone presses from as far back as 8,000 years ago excavated by archaeologists. Legend even has it that soldiers would weave a piece of grapevine into their armour to protect their chests before heading into battle, so if they died, a vine would sprout from their hearts.

In the 20th century, Georgia was the powerhouse wine producer for much of the Soviet Union but after gaining independence in the 1990s, the Soviet ‘wine factories’ are disappearing, replaced by smaller-scale producers intent on improving quality or kept old customs of wine producing.

This is a ”light take” on amber wine and a great way to introduce it!!!
