Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli BV 2017 Dry Amber Wine 750ml 13% (Georgia)
🍷 Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli BV 2017 is a dry amber wine from Kakheti, Georgia, made from Rkatsiteli using the traditional qvevri method. BV identifies the winery’s Best Vintage range. This 2017 release was bottled on 10 May 2021 and contains 13% alcohol in a 750 ml bottle.
The producer’s profile for Rkatsiteli BV 2017 describes an amber wine with floral and tea aromas. On the palate, nutty and spicy notes accompany a full, velvety texture. Gentle tannins and balanced acidity support the wine, followed by a long finish with honeyed and mineral touches. It is a useful choice when texture matters as much as aroma in your wine selection.
The family winery is rooted in Saniore, Kakheti, and works with Georgian grape varieties. A single-variety Rkatsiteli offers a different tasting focus from a blend: you can concentrate on this grape’s expression in the producer’s qvevri style. Try it alongside another wine at a small dinner and compare your impressions with your guests.
🍽️ The producer recommends meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and aged salted cheeses. Our suggestion is to start with one main dish and a small portion of cheese, rather than several strongly seasoned foods at once. Taste the wine before and after a bite, then choose the combination you enjoy most.
Serve Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli at 14–16°C; the winery recommends decanting. Use a roomy glass and begin with a small pour. If sediment is present, allow it to settle before opening and pour carefully. Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong heat. Contains sulphites.
