Grape Variety:  Rkatsiteli 100%

Aroma: Fruits, peach dominates. 

Taste: Long aftertaste.

 

Rkatsiteli, a staple in the realm of Georgian white dry wines, is born from the finest Rkatsiteli grapes of Kakheti. These select grapes are carefully cooled to 12°C prior to processing, a step that preserves their intrinsic qualities. The winemaking process, a harmonious blend of tradition and precision, involves the use of pneumatic presses with a central membrane for crushing and pressing the grapes. This technique ensures a gentle yet effective extraction of flavors.

The wine then undergoes cold maceration, a method that enhances its aromatic richness. The end result is a wine that exhibits a pale straw color, a visual testament to its crispness and elegance. Rkatsiteli stands as a fine example of the heritage and craftsmanship of Georgian viticulture.

Serving Suggestion:
Best served at 8–10°C, this 100% Rkatsiteli showcases vibrant fruit aromas, with peach as the dominant note. Its refreshing taste and long aftertaste pair wonderfully with fresh seafood, grilled fish, and light poultry dishes. It also complements fruit-based desserts and Georgian appetizers like pkhali or churchkhela, enhancing both the food and the experience.
