Rkatsiteli grapes were harvested from their Gurjanni vineyards on east and north-facing slopes in September. Fermented and aged with half of its skins for 3 months in Qvevris before being racked into ageing Qvevris until bottling in April. A golden amber colour with aromas of orange blossom, caramel, and grass. On the palate, there is this beautiful dance of honey, pineapple, lemon, spiced orange, and toastiness. Medium-bodied and round, with a balanced structure. Smooth texture and a long, lasting finish.
Fermented with its skins in Qvevris for 10 days before being pressed off and racked into ageing Qvevris. A deep opaque red colour with aromas of black fruit, eucalyptus, and chocolate. Pepper, plum and black currant come together on the palate with a subtle leather-like component. Full-bodied with a rich texture and a long finish. This is a remarkable testament to the Saperavi grape. Elegant, expressive, layered, and powerful.
Mtsvane was harvested from the Akhmeta region in Kakheti, in September. Sourced from a friend, these vines are on east and south-facing slopes and are tended to organically without the use of synthetic interventions. This Mtsvane spent 3 months with 100% of its skins in Qvevris, before being racked to ageing Qvevris until bottling in April. A beautiful golden amber colour, with aromas of green tea, apricots, and spiced fruit. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied with a balance of structured tannins and mouth-watering acidity. Classic dried fruit and tea-like notes that come together with a smooth, creamy-like finish.
