This cuvee is crafted from the Rkatsiteli and Chinuri grapes and is particularly unusual due to its naturally-occurring high alcohol level. Scientists believe that this is caused by a rare yeast called Saccharomyces Oviformis found in the Papari Valley which is only found in a handful of wineries in the world. This punchy white wine is fermented and matured in qvevri for 6 months to create a balanced and harmonious wine with plenty of character.

In the glass there’s a striking deep amber hue and hints of green apple, pear and citrus with undertones of cedar, dried herbs, and bay leaf. On the palate you can expect a punchy full body matched by a solid core of orchard fruit flavours and a long, lingering finish with gentle tannins throughout. A great wine to cellar for a few more years or enjoy now alongside roast chicken, grilled fish, or creamy pasta dishes.
