Tasting Notes
"This gorgeous white from 100% Mtsvane emerges from the sandstone and quartz soils surrounding the village of Tibaani in Kakheti, Eastern Georgia - closer to the Caspian Sea than the Black Sea. The semi-dessert climate features hot and dry days with cool and windy nights, creating the perfect conditions for balance between ripeness and acidity. Farmed organically and crushed gently, the juice macerates on its skins for three days prior to fermentation in qvevri, traditional clay vessels, after which it’s racked to a new qvevri where it rests for an additional year. The result is an approachable yet ancient style of white wine that's medium-bodied with perfectly ripe stone fruit and pear flavors, honeysuckle, earthy, clay minerality and a tangy finish with notes of citrus rind and bitter almond. Pairs perfectly with hard salty cheeses, aged Gouda or strong oily fish like mackerel or herring."
