Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Amber Wine 2018 14% (Kakheti, Georgia)
Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Amber Wine 2018 โ 14% ABV (Kakheti, Georgia) ๐ฌ๐ช is an exceptional qvevri-crafted wine made from Georgiaโs most historic grape variety, Rkatsiteli ๐. Produced in Kakheti, the cradle of Georgian winemaking, this wine is fermented and aged using the traditional qvevri method, where grapes mature on their skins, seeds, and stems in underground clay vessels. This process imparts depth, structure, and a distinctive amber hue.
The 2018 vintage shows a brilliant amber-golden color โจ and expressive aromas of dried apricot ๐, quince, citrus zest ๐, and floral honey ๐ฏ, supported by earthy herbal notes ๐ฟ. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with firm tannins, refreshing acidity, and flavors of stone fruit, dried herbs, and subtle spice. The finish is long, layered, and elegant, showcasing the essence of Georgian amber wine.
At 14% ABV, Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Amber is a versatile pairing for roasted meats ๐, lamb ๐, rich vegetable dishes ๐ถ๏ธ, and aged cheeses ๐ง. Bottled in limited quantities, this wine reflects the artisanal craftsmanship of the Tchotiashvili family winery and is a true representation of Kakhetiโs terroir and Georgiaโs 8,000-year winemaking heritage.
