Description

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.
