🍷 Tchotiashvili Kakhuri Mtsvivani SB 2019 is a dry amber wine from Kakheti, Georgia, made from Kakhuri Mtsvivani grapes. The initials SB identify the producer’s Specially Bottled selection. This 750 ml bottle carries 13% alcohol and belongs to the winery’s individually numbered 2019 release.
The wine is made in qvevri using the traditional Kakhetian method. Its amber colour and golden tones introduce that winemaking style. The wine is unfiltered, and a small natural deposit may occur. It contains sulphites.
🍽️ The producer describes an aromatic profile combining dried apple, peach, walnut and citrus peel. Qvevri maturation brings tea and spice nuances, and a gentle tobacco note may emerge with further development. These are the winery’s tasting descriptors for this cuvée; the character of an individual bottle can evolve during storage.
On the palate, the producer describes a full body, balanced structure and firm, velvety tannins. Ripe quince and walnut notes accompany pleasant citrus acidity, followed by an expressive, extended finish. This combination makes the wine a useful choice alongside fried fish, seafood and lighter meat dishes, as well as vegetable and mushroom preparations.
Serve Tchotiashvili Kakhuri Mtsvivani at 14–16°C. Decanting is recommended by the producer to help the aromas open. This release was bottled on 1 January 2022 and bears lot L1116KK0020. Store away from direct sunlight at the recommended 5–20°C, and pour gently if sediment has settled.
