$28.00
Grapes: 100% Rkatsiteli
Vineyard: 50-60-year-old vines at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, with dark clay and sandstone soils beneath a 40 cm top soil. Organically farmed. Southern-exposed slopes, Village Nukriani, Near Town Signagi in Kakheti Region.
Making of: Whole bunches (skins and stems included) are fermented and macerated in qvevri for six months, followed by an extended two-year aging period in the same qvevri before bottling.
Personality: Deeply structured and textural, with firm tannins balanced by the freshness of high-altitude fruit. Layers of tea, dried apricot, and spice unfold with air—a powerful yet graceful expression of traditional Kakhetian amber wine, refined and time-matured.
