Origin:
Crafted in the Kakheti region of Georgia, Bekauri Family Vineyards presents its Rkatsiteli Qvevri, a wine that honors the ancient winemaking traditions of the region. Using the time-honored qvevri method, this wine is a true reflection of the Kakheti terroir, offering a deep connection to Georgian heritage and craftsmanship.

Grape Variety:
100% Rkatsiteli, one of Georgia’s most ancient and important grape varieties, known for its crisp acidity and ability to produce complex, age-worthy wines.

Taste Profile

• Color: Amber with golden hues, typical of qvevri-aged wines.
• Aroma: A bouquet of dried apricots, orange peel, honeycomb, and a touch of spice, layered with earthy undertones from the qvevri aging process.
• Taste: Full-bodied and textured, with flavors of ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and a hint of herbs. The wine’s smooth tannin structure and rich minerality are complemented by a long, warm finish.

Craftsmanship:

This wine is made using the traditional qvevri method, where it ferments and ages in large clay vessels buried underground. The qvevri process enhances the wine’s depth and complexity, allowing the Rkatsiteli grape to express its full range of flavors, while imparting a distinct minerality and texture.

Serving Suggestions:

Best served at 12-14°C. Pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, aged cheeses, or rich, flavorful stews.
