It's interesting to see amphorae making a comeback. I know a lot of producers in Bourgogne and Bordeaux are experimenting or already using amphorae in aging their wines, but I don't think I've heard of any using them for vinification. Anything that gives winemakers options in making and blending their wines is a good thing and I'm glad more producers are turning away from heavy oak usage.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I am all for less oak in red wines (I’m oddly ok with it in whites 😎).

[@melsialiaj]

Loved this episode and of course added Laoudia to my shopping cart, since I can find it for around 38-40 Euros in Greece. Got to look for the rest of the wines as well.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhh nice and enjoy

[@gustavomgomes]

One of the best episodes ever! Love orange wines and amphora wines ! Josko Gravner and that guys from the friuli Slovenian region make a lot of delicious of that kind of wine! Cheers and thanks 🙏

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Yes agreed about Collio and Slovenia but there are also plenty of other good examples from around the world too

[@LadyAceRoxy]

Orange wine is what first got me interested in learning more about wines! I believe the first one I had was Vie de Romans (technically a Ramato) but the first Georgian Amber I had made in qvevri knocked my socks off - it reminded me so much of a sherry, it was really cool. I’ve also got to try a Sangiovese made in amphora, it was really good. I have a Saperavi in my cellar made in qvevri I’m still waiting to try, very excited.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

You’ll enjoy Saperavi made in qvevri!!

[@bencekato9186]

Awesome vid. Still some obscure knowledge for a lot of wine drinkers. New avenues to explore is the name of the game in wine!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhh thanks and yes exploration is the name of the game

[@CreativeFabien]

Also great reds in amphora - we had good example at David Reynaud, Domaine les Bruyères in Crozes Hermitage ;)

[@drmatthewhorkey]

That was brilliant indeed! I do have another red wine amphora video coming soon.

[@robdielemans9189]

I did a Georgian wine tasting at my home home with friends. 8 White/orange and 4 reds. All qvevri. All somewhere between 14 and 22 Euro's. Price/quality/intriguing wise they were all great. If you live in Europe you have no excuse not to order some and try them out. Matthew, if I were to visit the Kakheti region in the near future for a holiday would I be able to communicate with the wine makers, locals and winebars? I have some basic Russian (yes, no, 3 beers please, etc.), but zero Georgian.

[@NIKALASHKA12345]

8000 vintage is good wine bar in Tbilisi.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Hahaha, yes you will be able to visit producers speaking English.

[@Ruirspirul]

Rob, speak basic English…

[@welshtoro3256]

You forgot to mention Spain and the 'tinajas' used in Montilla wine. I'm thinking specifically of Perez Barquero.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

You'll see a Spanish wine coming up in a red wine amphora video!

[@compellingimaging9170]

In Oregon, there are a couple wineries playing with these. WinderLea has one and does a Pinot noir and Pinot blanc with theirs Beneath the tasting room. Teutonic has two of them and uses them quite a bit as well with their creative approach to “German” wines.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhhh brilliant!!

[@andrewkarl5174]

Beckham winery, in the chahalam mountains, makes all their wines with amphora. Andrew Beckham, I a potter and makes the amphora on site, he probably makes all the amphora used in Oregon

[@bobmarley2140]

Love amphora wines generally if a winemaker has chosen to use them it's because they are passionate about making good stuff, Esencia rural Tinaja airen is a cheap amphora wine where the vessel is buried directly in the vineyard VERY volatile but a damn good time to drink

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhhh nice, these wines can get crazy

[@Ruirspirul]

I hope Zegaani Saperavi is still incoming and this wasnt it! 😅

[@drmatthewhorkey]

🤣😎
