Chitistvala is a forgotten Georgian grape that was salvaged by the five medical doctors behind, Casreli Winery. As far as we know, they are the only ones making a blend from it today. They do not come much more authentic than this. A no holds barred Kakhetian traditional amber wine, with 30% or so of the super rare Tetri Chitishvala variety (the remainder is Rkatsiteli & Kisi).

Grapes are fermented on the skins and then aged for 6 months in Qvevri. Bottled without clarification/ filtration/ fining. Total sulphites: 30mg/ L

Precise & sculpted, with a deliciously mouthwatering citrus note to boot. Full of dried sage & thyme aromas, wisps of smoked honey, baked apples, spiced raisins, and more. A great effort from this promising new winery with a passion for traditional Qvevri wine. Only 2,000 bottles made.
