Terra Kisi Khikhvi 2022 Dry Amber Wine 750ml 14%
šŗ Terra Kisi Khikhvi 2022 is a Georgian dry amber wine made in amphora, bringing a distinctive Kakhetian grape to the table in a textured, food-friendly style. The 750ml bottle has 14% alcohol. Its deep amber colour makes an immediate impression, while the dry palate invites a slower tasting alongside a thoughtfully chosen meal.
š Khikhvi is the single grape variety behind this wine. Traditional qvevri winemaking gives the fruit a different expression through contact with the grape skins, building colour and structure. This 2022 bottling is a good choice when you want to explore Georgian amber wine through one variety and compare its character with other wines from Kakheti.
šÆ The aromatic profile brings together dried apricot, honey and herbs, with citrus and nutty nuances adding another dimension. On the palate, expect a substantial texture and noticeable tannins rather than a sweet impression. Those tannins give the wine grip, while fruit and spice keep the flavour interesting across several sips and different dishes.
š½ļø Try it with lamb, mushroom dishes or mature cheese, and explore combinations with Georgian walnut sauces and roasted vegetables. Serve initially at 10ā12°C, then let it warm a little in the glass as you taste. A roomy glass helps you follow the changing aromas; gentle aeration can also be worth trying before the meal.
š¬šŖ Terra Kisi Khikhvi 2022 works well for a dinner centred on Georgian flavours or a tasting with friends who enjoy structured amber wines. The bottle is closed with a cork and was bottled on 12 December 2023. Store it somewhere cool and dark, away from sudden temperature changes. Contains sulphites.
