Description
Technology: The wine is made from hand-harvested grapes in the village of Kisiskhevi, Telavi Municipality, Kakheti, at the Khutsishvili Brothers’ Family Cellar. According to ancient Georgian tradition, it is fermented in Qvevri with prolonged contact on the skins (chacha). Fermentation is carried out by natural yeast without any additives. The grapes are processed with a special destemming machine, and only the crushed berries are transferred into the Qvevri for fermentation. Upon completion of the fermentation process, the Qvevri are sealed, and the wine remains on the lees (durdo) for the following 6 months.
Taste: This amber, dry, velvety, unfiltered wine is characterized by depth and harmony, with well-expressed varietal aromas and tones of fruit and dried fruit. It is rich in phenolic compounds and tannins. The wine is not modified with chemical or biological additives and contains no preservatives. It is unfiltered, and the formation of a small, noble sediment is possible.
Serving: The recommended temperature is 12–15°C. To perceive the maximum aroma and taste properties of the wine, we recommend pouring it into a glass 20 minutes before tasting. It pairs well with grilled meat, various types of cheese, and salads.
