Schuchmann Rkatsiteli 2023 is a Georgian dry white wine from Kakheti, bottled at 14% alcohol in a 750ml format. Produced by Schuchmann Wines Georgia in Kisiskhevi, Telavi district, it combines the Rkatsiteli grape with a modern approach to white winemaking. Its fruit-led profile centres on pear, apple and peach, supported by a medium body and a long finish. This combination makes it an approachable introduction to Schuchmann’s range and a useful bottle to share over dinner.
The producer ferments clear grape juice slowly in stainless steel tanks at a precisely controlled temperature. This method puts the wine’s fruit aromas at the centre of the experience. A pale gold colour introduces the pear, apple and peach bouquet, while the medium body gives the palate substance. The long finish keeps the fruit character present after each sip. For those choosing by flavour, orchard fruit and stone fruit provide the clearest description of this wine.
As a serving suggestion, chill to approximately 10–12°C and use a white-wine glass. For food, try fish, seafood, poultry or a light salad; these are pairing suggestions based on its dry style and fruit profile. It can also accompany a simple meal where a dry white wine is preferred. Keep the bottle stored between +5°C and +18°C; this is the storage range for the wine and is separate from the suggested serving temperature.
The 2023 vintage records the harvest year. This batch was bottled on 22 March 2024 and carries lot number L1146 R220324. The wine contains sulphites. Schuchmann Rkatsiteli 2023 offers a straightforward way to explore a Kakhetian white wine through its grape, fruit aromas and texture.
