Profile & Story
This dry amber wine is produced from 90% Rkatsiteli and 10% Mtsvane grapes that are handpicked and fermented in qvevri for 5 months with 100% skin contact, adhering to the ancient Georgian traditional winemaking method. This wine embodies a velvety richness, where the gentle embrace of tannins intertwines seamlessly with the sweetness of honey and the luscious essence of apricot. The enduring finish leaves a lasting impression of understated refinement. Importer: S&F Wine Imports
