- It is a layered and complex wine with green tea tones, dried orange peel and honeyed, toasty notes, leading to hints of beeswax on the palate. It is a powerful, focused wine with wonderful depth through a long finish. The grapes were carefully sorted in the vineyard. Then again, upon arrival at the winery, berry by berry ensured only the healthy, undamaged and best quality fruit was vinified. Skin-contact fermentation used the traditional Georgian method of clay jars known as Qvevri. These vessels have been recognised by UNESCO as a process of important cultural heritage. The Quevri in the Vachnadziani winery has a 950-litre capacity. The alcoholic fermentation lasted one week, followed by a skin contact maturation period of six months.

| Winery | The grapes are grown in the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia, where the climate is moderately humid, with hot summers and cold winters. The vineyard is at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level, where the vines are trained according to the Vertical Shoot Position (VSP) method and are Double Guyot pruned. The soils are clay and loamy, which provide good water retention properties to sustain the vines during the hot summers. The vineyard is planted with covered grass between the vines to reduce weeds; the soil is mulched and treated with organic mineral fertilizers. Rkatsiteli (pronounced ree-ka-tzi-TIL-li) is an ancient, pale-skinned, native grape variety. It flourishes in this environment, and with its strong resistance to cold weather, it can endure the cold winters. Renowned for its natural characteristics |
