Mgaloblishvili Batonnage Rkatsiteli is a dry white wine from the 2022 harvest, made with Rkatsiteli grapes grown in Akhmeta, Kakheti. This Georgian wine brings together a distinctive grape variety and a patient period of maturation. Its defining production detail is ten months of ageing on the lees, known as Sur Lie. The result is a wine described by its producer through exotic fruit flavours, aromatic complexity and a rich, harmonious character.
The fruit profile gives this Rkatsiteli an expressive identity, while the emphasis on harmony makes it an inviting choice for a meal. Rather than building a tasting experience around a single fruit, enjoy the interaction between its broad fruit character and the richness developed during maturation. Take a moment with the first glass, then return to it as the wine opens and the food arrives.
For serving Mgaloblishvili Batonnage Rkatsiteli, we recommend a temperature of 10–12°C. Pour into a white wine glass and allow a little time for the aromas to develop. Suggested pairings include baked fish, seafood, poultry and pasta, particularly dishes with gentle sauces that leave room for the wine’s own character. A selection of soft cheeses is another useful starting point for a relaxed tasting.
The 750ml bottle contains wine at 14.5% alcohol by volume and is produced by Wine Mgaloblishvili LLC. The vintage, grape variety and ten-month Sur Lie maturation make this bottling a clear choice for anyone exploring a richer expression of Georgian dry white wine. Serve it with dinner or share it during a tasting focused on Rkatsiteli and wines from Kakheti.
