This wine was made with traditional Georgian clay pots known as Qvevri - it spent 4 months in contact with the grape skins, before ageing for 5 more months on the lees. Look for bursts of apple and peach on the nose, with subtle hints of spices and herbs. In the mouth, this wine’s juicy, vibrant character reveals itself. Notes of passionfruit dried apricot and orange mingle with orchard nuts, such as walnuts and almonds, and there are subtle hints of bay leaf. It will be a fantastic companion for pasta with pesto , Georgian bread or chicken.
