🍷Papunas Marani Rkatsiteli Qvevri is a dry amber wine from Kvareli in Kakheti, Georgia. Made from Rkatsiteli grapes, it combines the character of a traditional qvevri wine with a short period of oak maturation. Its golden-amber colour and rounded palate make it a distinctive choice for a meal built around mushrooms, poultry, fish or soft cheese.
🏺 The wine spends four months in qvevri, followed by two months in an oak barrel. The vines are 42 years old, with a stated harvest yield of seven tonnes per hectare. This is a filtered wine.
🌼 Its aromatic profile combines quince-like dried fruit, dried flowers and straw with an earthy qvevri character. The palate is full, soft and long-lasting, carrying the wine’s amber style through to a lingering finish.
🍽️ Serve Papunas Marani Rkatsiteli at 16–18°C to appreciate its texture and aromas. Mushroom dishes, chicken, fish and soft cheeses are the recommended pairings.
