2024 Pheasant's Tears Kakheti Kisi, Kakheti, Georgia
$27.99
“One of our most classic styles of wine for the region.”
Grapes: 100% Kisi
Vineyard: Kakheti, Sighnaghi region, village of Tibaani. Sandstone and Quartz.
Making of (2023): Whole bunch gently crushed, then macerated on the skins in qvevri for 6 months. Racked into a new qvevri, where it’s aged for one year before bottling.
Personality: A beautiful, hefty and hazy amber orange with notes of apricot. Kisi is both a tannic and very aromatic grape, and its skin maceration makes for a more grounded black tea profile with almost Biryani-like spiciness. Pair with Thai, Mexican, Indian and other cuisines with strong character.
From John, “Kisi with skin maceration becomes grounded, more handsome, has more substance. With its structure, this is a style of wine that’s entirely made to go with food — all of a sudden the tannins become a certain firm resistance that can embrace the punches of intense flavors. This is not the wine for your pre-dinner aperitivo!”
