Krakhuna

The white grape variety originates from Georgia. Synonyms are Chkovra, Crakhuna, Krachuna, Krahuna, Krakhouna, Krakhuna Shavi, Krakhvna and Kraxuna. It originates from a presumably natural cross between Bazaleturi x unknown partner. The late-maturing vine with sugar-rich berries is susceptible to powdery mildew, but resistant to downy mildew. It produces acidic white wines with aromas of pears and herbs and ageing potential. The variety is mainly cultivated in the Imeretia region. In 2016, 46 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson).
