Chinuri (also known as Kaspuri and Kaspuri White) is a
white wine grape variety of high
acidity.[1] It is associated with
Georgian wine, and is grown in
Kartli, reaching full maturity by late October.[2] Chinuri is commonly used for both still and
sparkling wines by
blending with Goruli Mtsvane and
Aligote. It exhibits good resistance to fungal diseases and
phylloxera.[3]
Etymology
"Chinuri" is derived from chinebuli, meaning "excellent" in
Georgian language.
