Wine Masterclass: 5 Tips for Selecting the Perfect Wine

Selecting wine is a simple process if you follow a few basic rules. Here are the tips that will help you choose the wine correctly:

Pay Attention to the Aroma:

The first impression of a wine begins with its aroma. Wine aged in a Qvevri, such as Rkatsiteli, for example, retains notes of peach, apricot, and field flowers, which gives it uniqueness. Feel the aroma and ensure it matches your taste.

Choose by Tasting:

The main rule — tasting is essential! The taste should be balanced, where acidity and tannin are in harmony.

Observe the Color:

A wine’s color and clarity say a lot about its quality. Real Georgian Qvevri wine is distinguished by its natural coloration. For example, Saperavi should always charm you with its rich red color.

Wine and Food: You should match wine with dishes.

• For light dishes: Rkatsiteli Mtsvane or Kakhuri Mtsvane.
• For meat dishes: Saperavi or King Erekle II.
• For sweets: Semi-sweet Kisiskhevi Mtsvane or Kindzmarauli.

Region and Cellar:

Wines from local cellars are always more reliable and of higher quality. The wines presented at the Khutsishvili Brothers’ Cellar rely on the unique technology of aging in Qvevri, offering you tradition and quality simultaneously.
