A dry white, produced in Kakheti region from specially selected Rkatsiteli grapes using an old traditional “Kakhetian” method. The grape juice and skins are fully fermented and macerated together for 5 months in a Qvevri (clay amphora buried into the ground) which gives the wine intense straw colour, deep tannin taste and structure. Its acidity and bright flavours make it exceptionally versatile. It is a strikingly aromatic wine that offers a deep rich bouquet of pine, herbs, pear and quince. The palate is well balanced with spice and tea flavours. Great with barbequed meats and spicy Asian dishes.

Incredibly smooth
Not usually a fan of white wines, but this orange wine is fantastic. Perfect for a hot summer day, super refreshing and delicious.

the taste of Georgia
This is as close as you can get to the wine in Georgia, fantastic, complex wine with sherry overtones, wonderful - not for the faint hearted.
Great with traditional Georgian food like khinkarli and khachapuri - makes me want to go back.......

Amazing, nothing like it.
This wine was amazing. I have wanted to try Georgian wine for a while and finally found your company. This wine was so different from anything ive tried before. The beautiful colour and the taste, light and fruity. Delicious
