In conclusion, we will quote a paragraph from the work of Maxime Ramishvili - “Vines of Guria, Samegrelo and Achara”: “Ojaleshi is the oldest grape variety known among red grapes of Samegrelo. Like past experience, it is used for making high quality red table wines. Based on the local researches and literature sources, it is proved that Ojaleshi is the oldest grape variety of Samegrelo and belongs to the varieties of Pontus area, following its botanical and agro-biological features. This is proved by its name - “Ojaleshi” as well, as mentioned by academician Ivane Javakhishvili – i.e. Megrelian term standing for height (tree) crawling kind of vine.”
