About the variety
Tetri Kamuri, 'white Kamuri', is an old white variety of Guria and Imereti in western Georgia, belonging to the Colchian group of vines; growers and older literature also call it Tetri Kamura or simply Kamura. Its flowers are bisexual and its bunches conical-cylindrical, 13–21 cm long; the berries are long-oval, greenish turning yellow-amber on the sunny side, thick-skinned and fleshy. It ripens late, about 200 days after budbreak, at 19–20% sugar and around 8 g/l acidity; trained high on trees in the traditional way, a single vine gave 30–40 kg of grapes. Long valued as a fine table grape that keeps well, it also makes full-bodied, distinctive wine with moderate acidity. Today it is a rarity: Nanua ferments it with Tsitska in qvevri for an amber wine.
