2020 Tchotiashvili Khikvi Rcheuli Qvevri Amber Georgia

Winemaker Notes: An intense and distinctive wine, with a bright golden color and amber hues. On the nose, the wine reveals a complex aromatic profile with notes of ripe stone fruit and candied pear, caramel, spices, and honey. On the palate, it is rich and generous, smooth and balanced, with a long, slightly astringent and fruity finish.

The Khikhvi grapes, a native Georgian grape variety from the Kakheti region, are sourced exclusively from the estate's vineyards in Saniore. Production is limited and bottles are numbered. Fermentation occurs with the skins and seeds, and the wine remains in contact with the skins in qvevri for eight months, according to traditional Georgian practices, before being bottled unfiltered.
