Dzvelshavi Obchuri

The red grape variety originates from Georgia. Synonyms are Dzvelchavi Obtchouri, Dzvelchavi Obtshinsky, Dzvelshari Obchinskii and Zelscavi. The name means "old black". It should not be confused with the Dzvelshavi Sachkheris variety. The medium-maturing vine is susceptible to fungal diseases. It produces fresh, dark-coloured red wines of simple quality with red fruit aromas, which are mostly blended with Saperavi. The variety is cultivated in the two areas of Imeretia and Racha. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
