Bimbili Tsolikouri Reserve 2024 is a dry white wine from Racha, Georgia, crafted by Gurgenidze Family Winery. 🍇 Tsolikouri forms the heart of the blend, with small additions of Rachuli Mtsvane and Kudurauli. The grapes come from the villages of Kvatskhuti, Khimshi, Krikhi, Itsa and Dzirageuli, bringing together local vineyard character in one expressive bottle.
The vines are approximately 40–50 years old, with rows facing south. Classical vinification draws on elements of local winemaking tradition, followed by three months in French oak barrels. 🪵 That short period of maturation makes the Reserve an appealing choice when you want a white wine with a little more texture and depth alongside its fruit.
In the glass, expect a pale golden colour and a generous aromatic character. Citrus and yellow-fruit notes meet gentle nutty tones, while pleasant acidity keeps the wine lively. Bimbili Tsolikouri Reserve 2024 offers a balanced, structured style with a lasting aromatic finish, giving you plenty to explore as the wine opens in the glass.
Serve at 10–12°C in a white-wine glass. 🥂 A few moments after pouring allow its aromas to develop; avoid over-chilling if you want to appreciate the Reserve's fuller character. At 13% alcohol, the 750ml bottle works well for a shared dinner or a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys Georgian white wines.
Pair it with roasted chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta or soft cheese. 🐟 Mushrooms and gently seasoned vegetable dishes are also worth trying. Bimbili Tsolikouri Reserve 2024 is a comfortable companion for a leisurely meal: choose food with enough texture to meet the wine, and let its freshness keep each pairing enjoyable.
