Georgian Valleys Qvevris Rkatsiteli White Dry

Description

Georgian Valleys Qvevris Rkatsiteli White Dry is a Georgian amber (orange) wine aged in clay qvevri by the ancient Kakhetian method. It is 100% Rkatsiteli: fermenting and ageing on skins, seeds and stems give the wine its amber colour and dense structure. The bouquet is deep and layered: dried apricot, quince, walnut, honey and ripe yellow fruit, with spiced hints of beeswax and dried flowers. The palate is dense and oily, with dried apricot, candied fruit and the characteristic pleasant grip of true qvevri wines; the acidity is lively and the finish long and spiced. Serve with traditional Georgian cheeses — sulguni, Imeretian, aged guda. It also suits poultry roasted with spices and herbs, oily fish from the grill, nuts and dried fruit. Use a large all-purpose white wine glass or a Burgundy glass with a wide bowl, so the wine can breathe.
