Marani Kondoli Mtsvane-Kisi

About the Wine

Mtsvane 50%; Kisi 50%. Selected blocks of Mtsvane and Kisi from our Kondoli Vineyards have been green harvested during the first days of véraison in August, to artificially reduce the grape yield down to 7 tons per hectare, thereby increasing the overall quality and concentration of the remaining fruit. At the end of September, grapes were hand-harvested in small boxes, hand-sorted at our winery and chilled down before pressing in a pneumatic press. After settling the juice, fermentation was carried out by indigenous yeasts presented on the grape skins at 13-14°C to maintain natural aromas. On completion of fermentation, tanks were topped and hand stirred during 6 months for the full integration of flavor and aroma. Minimum filtering during bottling and 4 months of bottle aging completed the process. Importer: Telavi Wine Cellars
