From 7-year-old organic Saperavi and Mtsvane vines, the grapes were hand-harvested and taken to tanks for semi-carbonic maceration. Bottled after 5 months. Unfined, unfiltered, and with no additions of sulphur. Only 800 bottles of this wine were produced, and we have the pleasure of drinking them here in Canada! This wine is an extravagant wine for all occasions. Picnic in the park, at your dinner table, or while toasting with friends at your local wine bars. Bursting candied red fruit. Red cherry, strawberry, and cranberry, with a little bit of watermelon. Subtle herb and spice on the undertone with a long, juicy finish.
From 21-year-old organic Kisi vines. Hand harvested and crushed into Qvevri for fermentation with its full skins and some stem contact. In April, after 7 months of hibernation, it was pressed off its skins and bottled. Microfiltration was conducted, and 10mg of sulphur was added before bottling. On the nose, bright grapefruit, blood orange, and lemon. It opens up on the palate similarly, with an integrated herbaceous bouquet and ripe apricot. Beautiful tannin and acidity balance, true to Kakhetian-style and structure.
