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 dark amber, dry, unfiltered wine, produced through the blending (sepage) of Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane, is distinguished by its perfection and dignity, with aromas of fig jam, peach, raisins, and roasted hazelnuts. It is rich in phenolic compounds, tannins, and various minerals. The wine is made from vines planted by our ancestors 60 years ago. Due to the specific technology of Qvevri winemaking, it is characterized by high antioxidant properties. 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 ideally with traditional Georgian cuisine, skewered or grilled pork and beef, fish, and various types of cheese.
