2024 Igavi Wines, Dzelshavi Rosé Imereti, Georgia
$38.00
This is a pre-order item expected to arrive late May 2026.
Winemaker’s note: “We usually vinify red and white as two separate wines,
but in 2024 we decided that it made more sense to pick and ferment the vineyard as one. It’s more in line with what we hope to achieve by working with old single vineyards.”
Grapes: 40% Dzelshavi, 30% Tsolikouri, 20% Tsitska & 10% Kvishkhura
Vineyard: Vines planted in the 1960s on loam and red clay with limestone. NW-facing site on an undulating slope in the village of Makatauri in the Sachkhere municipality of Upper Imereti. Farmed by Gia Kipshidze.
Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, foot-crushed and macerated for 24 hours before basket pressing with the juice transferred to qvevri. The wine remains on fine lees for 9 months before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulphur.
Personality: “The wine is a journey through the bottle, with all elements popping at different moments — creating a fascinating experience if you spend time with it.”
