🏺 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.
🍇 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.
🍯 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.
🍽️ Try it with lamb, mushroom dishes or mature cheese, and explore combinations with Georgian walnut sauces and roasted vegetables. Serve initially at 10–12°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.
🇬🇪 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.
