Rcheuli Qvevri Khikhvi Limited Dry Amber Wine 750ml 13% (2015)
Rcheuli Qvevri Khikhvi is a limited dry amber wine from Georgia, made from Khikhvi grapes using traditional qvevri winemaking. The 2015 vintage is bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml format. Its amber colour and natural qvevri character reflect extended contact with grape skins and the time-honoured Georgian method of fermenting and ageing wine in clay vessels. 🏺
The wine shows a pronounced varietal aroma and a soft, harmonious palate. Expect a textured, dry style in which ripe fruit, gentle herbal nuance and a light nutty note can sit alongside the wine’s earthy qvevri character. It is not a crisp, simple white; the structure and depth invite slower tasting and make the bottle particularly interesting for drinkers who want to explore traditional Georgian amber wine.
Rcheuli Qvevri Khikhvi is produced in Kakheti, Georgia, under the Rcheuli Qvevri limited series. Each bottle is presented as a selected release, with production overseen by the producer’s oenologist. Serve lightly chilled, rather than ice-cold, to let its aroma and texture open gradually. A temperature around 12–14°C is a good starting point. 🍷
Pair this wine with roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, richer fish dishes, aged cheese or Georgian cuisine with herbs and walnuts. Rcheuli Qvevri Khikhvi is also a thoughtful gift for someone interested in indigenous varieties, qvevri wines and the distinctive amber-wine tradition of Georgia.
