Georgian chacha is a traditional spirit that has been produced in Georgia since the 17th century. It is a type of vodka made from the Georgian grape variety Saperavi, Mtsvane or Rkatsiteli, which is then distilled and aged. Georgian grape vodka chacha is characterized by a delicate taste and strong aroma, which are the result of its high alcohol content. Therefore, the distillate is often considered a unique drink in the original Georgian style.
Making Georgian chacha
The grapes are first pressed and their juice is distilled. The distillation process is particularly complicated because adding water only yields a very weak alcoholic component. Therefore, chacha is distilled again and again until a unique aroma and taste is obtained.
This is because the Georgian nation has traditionally avoided sweet spirits, so chacha was the only option. Also, chacha is very strong, even stronger than some other types of vodka. This is also the reason why it is popular among Georgians. Chacha is often served as part of a traditional Georgian dinner.
