Gori Tetra
Georgian wine terms
A name that does not correspond to any recognized Georgian wine region, appellation, or grape variety.
Gori Tetra does not exist as a recognized wine region, appellation, or grape variety in Georgia. The name likely reflects confusion between two distinct Georgian wine subjects: the Tetra grape from Racha-Lechkhumi and the Gori wine district in Kartli.
