This Rkatsiteli from the heart of Kakheti, is a masterclass in traditional Georgian winemaking. The use of qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground—imparts a unique depth and complexity to the wine, showcasing the ancient techniques that have defined this region's viticulture for millennia. The wine opens with an intriguing and aromatic bouquet. Initial notes of dried figs and herbs intermingle with subtle hints of ripe orchard fruits. This Rkatsiteli presents a full-bodied, textured profile that defies typical white wine expectations. The qvevri method has imbued the wine with gentle tannins, usually reserved for red wines, making it a robust and flavourful experience. The wine’s spicy texture is complemented by rich flavours of preserved oranges, underscored by a lovely acidity that enlivens the finish. The wine's finish is impressively long, lingering on the palate with a delicate balance of fruit and spice.
