Profile & Story
Mildiani is a Georgian family winery based in Tsinandali, in the Kakheti region, one of Georgia's most distinguished winemaking zones. In 2010 the family built a traditional qvevri cellar that continues to produce amber and red wines using ancient Kakhetian methods. This Rkatsiteli is fermented and macerated on its skins in buried qvevri, the millennia-old Georgian clay-vessel method that gives the wine its characteristic amber color.
Tasting Notes
Qvevri-fermented Rkatsiteli typically shows a deep amber hue with a complex bouquet of dried herbs, flowers, and orchard fruit, framed by the gentle tannic grip and savory, textured palate that extended skin contact in qvevri gives to Georgia's signature white grape.
