Store Pickup, Free Local Delivery
$24.95
This is a traditional eastern Georgian amber wine. The juice was left on the skins and lees for a period of six months while in the traditional qvevri vessels. The wine attains a deep amber hue due to the extended skin contact. The bouquet is quite fresh with notes of apricot and persimmon with chamomile and even a bit of turmeric on the nose. The palate is rich and broad with some exceptional mouthfeel due to skin contact. The wine is not bitter though, the flavor is moderated with just a touch of residual sugar.
Varietals: Rkatsiteli (75%), Mtsvane (20%), Chinuri (5%)

| Grape Growing | The grapes are grown on a 7.5 hectare plot sloping towards the Alazani River located in Kakheti, Georgia's most continental and most famous wine region. The grapes are organically farmed. Only indigenous Georgian varieties are used. There is no chemical treatment in the vineyard at all. |
| Winemaking | The grapes are pressed directly into the qvevri which vary in size between 200L and 2000L. Each qvevri is lined with beeswax to prevent excess oxidation. The qvevri are fired at over 1000 degrees celsius and can be used for hundreds of years. They are left to ferment and macerate inside for a period of six month with direct contact from skins and lees. Only indigenous yeasts are used. During this time, the skins and lees sink to the bottom providing a natural filtration. No sulfur is added to the process. |
