Bediani - Rkatsiteli Qvevri is a traditional Georgian wine made from the renowned Rkatsiteli grape, hailing from the heart of Georgia’s Kakheti region. This wine is crafted using the ancient qvevri method, where it undergoes fermentation and aging in large, clay vessels buried underground, a practice that imparts both complexity and unique character to the wine.

Key Features:

• Grape: Rkatsiteli, known for its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit notes.

• Taste Profile:

  • Color: Amber, with a slight cloudiness from extended skin contact.
  • Aroma: A blend of stone fruits (like apricot), citrus zest, honey, and a hint of earthiness.
  • Taste: Full-bodied with flavors of green apple, lemon, and subtle herbal notes, complemented by a touch of tannins from the qvevri aging.
  • Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with balanced acidity and a lingering minerality.

• Craftsmanship: The wine is made using traditional qvevri winemaking, with extended skin contact during fermentation, which imparts both structure and texture. The clay vessels allow for a slow, natural fermentation that brings out the deep, earthy flavors and a slight tannic grip.
