Bedoba Orange Wine (Georgia)

Bedoba Orange Wine is a unique experience, a perfect companion for those who appreciate the unconventional side of wine. As soon as you pour it, you're greeted with a golden, amber hue that immediately feels warm and inviting. The nose is a bit of a surprise—there’s this wonderful mix of dried apricots, honey, and citrus zest. It's floral, too, with hints of chamomile and a bit of earthiness that adds character without being overwhelming.

On the palate, it feels fresh yet textured. There’s this slightly tannic grip that reminds you it’s an orange wine, but it’s not too intense. Flavours of ripe stone fruits—think peaches and nectarines—mingle with herbal tea notes and a touch of nuttiness. There’s also a gentle spiciness, maybe a bit of ginger or white pepper, that lingers toward the end. The finish is surprisingly long, leaving behind a trail of citrus peel and soft minerality.

It’s a wine that feels grounded yet adventurous, with enough complexity to keep you sipping slowly, but nothing so bold that it demands all your attention. Perfect for a laid-back evening where conversation flows as easily as the wine.

Bedoba Orange Wine pairs beautifully with dishes that have a bit of complexity but still let the wine shine. Its earthy, slightly tannic nature makes it a great match for roasted root vegetables like carrots, beets, or sweet potatoes, especially when seasoned with herbs and spices like thyme or cumin.
