GRW Rkatsiteli Qvevri Collection Dry Amber (750ml)
- In stock
- Not Mevushal
- Kosher for Passover
This natural amber wine comes from Kakheti, Georgia. It is 100% Rkatsiteli, fermented on the skins in traditional buried clay qvevri, a low-intervention method that Georgians have used for over 8,000 years.
Mood: Ancient, earthy, alive.
Sommelier's Note
Skin-contact wine does not get more authentic than this. There are no additives and no shortcuts, only grape juice and clay doing what they did for our great-great-grandparents.
Tasting Notes
Dried apricot, quince, and orange peel open the nose, over honey and toasted walnut. The skins and pips give grippy tannins, which carry stone fruit, dried herbs, and a hint of tea leaf. The finish is long and savoury, nutty, resinous, and distinctly Georgian.
Food Pairing
This wine is made for the table. It pairs beautifully with brisket, chicken schnitzel, cholent, roasted vegetables, aged cheeses, and mezze-style spreads. On Shabbos it gets a conversation started.
