In making this wine five varieties were involved: over 80 percent of Saperavi was spiced up with Kisi, Khikhvi, Mtsvane, and skinless Rkatsiteli.
The wine spent a month fermenting with skins in kvevri and subsequently moved to another kvevri without the skins. Overall, it spent 7 months in kvevri and another 12 months in a stainless steel tank. The last four months before bottling it finished in a french oak barrel and was bottled aged 23 months
QUINTESSENTIA is a wild wine. It was fermented by wild yeasts coming from Akhmeta terroirs, was never filtered and no sulfites were used in the cellar. It has a multi-layered nose and pallet, and huge aging potential
