About the wine: Crafted using traditional Kakhetian techniques, the wine undergoes fermentation in Kuevri, with large clay vessels buried underground and skins, stems, and pips, imparting an intricate depth and complexity. For this particular cuvée, the grapes are macerated with their skins for 24 hours, following this, the wine is aged for eight months in stainless steel, allowing it to evolve while maintaining its purity and fresh profile through an unfiltered process. Rkatsiteli wines are known for their aging potential, developing greater complexity and richness with time. However, they are often best enjoyed in their youth to preserve their lively and refreshing character.
