Tasting Notes

Color:
Brilliant golden amber
Aromas:
Pronounced varietal bouquet of quince, dried apricot, and wildflower honey, with subtle hints of nuts and spice

Full-bodied and textured, showing layers of stone fruits, citrus peel, and herbal notes. Structured tannins from skin contact are balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, harmonious finish.

Vinification

Crafted using the traditional Georgian Qvevri method, this wine undergoes full fermentation and maturation in buried clay vessels for 6 months, in contact with skins and stems. This extended maceration imparts the wine’s distinctive golden-amber hue, complex structure, and light tannic grip. After racking, the wine undergoes gentle filtration and is aged in bottle to preserve authenticity and purity.
