🍷 Schuchmann Rkatsiteli 2023 is a dry white wine from Kakheti, Georgia, with aromas of pear, apple and peach. Its pale gold colour, medium body and long finish give a clear picture of a fruit-focused white with substance on the palate. Produced by Schuchmann Wines Georgia in Kisiskhevi, Telavi district, it comes in a 750 ml bottle at 14% alcohol by volume.
The producer uses clear grape juice, fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks at a precisely controlled temperature. The resulting style puts the Rkatsiteli grape’s fruit expression at the centre of the experience. Pear and apple bring orchard-fruit notes to the bouquet, while peach adds a stone-fruit dimension. The medium body and lasting finish make this a useful choice when you want a dry white to accompany a meal.
🍽️ Our pairing suggestions for Schuchmann Rkatsiteli: include fish, seafood, poultry and lightly dressed salads. Try baked fish with herbs, simply cooked chicken or a seafood pasta with a light sauce. Keep especially sharp dressings and very hot seasonings on the side, then adjust each plate to taste. These suggestions are a starting point for exploring the wine with food, rather than fixed rules.
Serve Schuchmann Rkatsiteli at approximately 10–12°C in a white-wine glass. Pour a little at a time and keep the remaining bottle cool during the meal; if served very cold, allow the glass a few minutes before assessing the aromas. Store unopened wine between +5°C and +18°C, away from direct sunlight. The wine was bottled on 22 March 2024, with lot reference L1146 R220324. Contains sulphites.
