What you will taste
Rkatsiteli is Georgia's great everyday grape, but bury it in a qvevri with its skins and it becomes something bold: deep amber, dried apricot and raisin, tea leaf and honey, a firm dry grip on the finish. This is the fullest expression of the ancient style: a white wine with the shoulders of a red and the patience of eight millennia.
The sommelier’s note
«Serve at 12 degrees. Strongest personality of the amber trio: give it grilled food and time.»
