Aleksandrouli

Aleksandrouli () is a Georgian red grape variety.
History.
The grape is reputed to be one of the oldest and greatest of the Georgian varieties, but is also reported by the "Geilweilerhof" database as a selected seedling of Muscat of Alexandria. This may reflect two varieties, the Alexandrouli wine grape and the table grape Alexandriuli Muscat.
Distribution and wines.
Used in Georgia to produce a semi-sweet red wine known as Khvanchkara or as a medium bodied, semi-dry, chewy blend (with Mujuretuli) having good acids and claimed to have aroma flavours reminiscent of pomegranates.
Vine and viticulture.
The grape seems to prefer the wetter western half of Georgia.
Synonyms.
Alexandrouli is also known under the synonyms Aleksandroouly, Aleksandrouli, Aleksandrouli Shavi, Alexandreouli, Alexandroouli, Alexandrouli, Kabistona, and Kabistoni.
