Tchotiashvili Collection Amber Qvevri 750ml 13% (2017)
Tchotiashvili Collection Amber Qvevri is a dry amber qvevri wine from Georgia, made from grapes selected for the Collection Wine release and presented in a 750ml bottle at 13% ABV. The 2017 vintage brings a clearly identified grape, place and style together in one bottle. It is a useful choice for drinkers looking for a fact-led introduction to Georgian wine rather than an anonymous, generic label. ๐
The winemaking follows traditional qvevri fermentation and ageing. This approach allows the fruit, the vintage and the place of origin to remain central to the wineโs character. The wine is unfiltered, so a small natural sediment may appear in the bottle; this is normal for the style and does not indicate a fault. Tchotiashvili Collection Amber Qvevri is best opened with care and given a short moment in the glass before tasting.
Expect a layered, grape-led aroma. On the palate, it has a textured, dry and balanced palate. The result is a wine with detail and balance rather than a heavy or overworked profile. Serve it at 12โ14ยฐC to let the aroma, texture and finish show clearly. Tchotiashvili Collection Amber Qvevri works equally well at the dinner table and when a more distinctive bottle is wanted for sharing. ๐ท
Food pairing is straightforward: enjoy it with roast poultry, richer fish dishes, aged cheese, walnuts and Georgian cuisine. The wineโs freshness, structure and traditional character make it a natural match for food, especially dishes with roasted, grilled or savoury flavours. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an attentive tasting bottle.
This is a Collection Wine limited release. It is a considered choice for discovering Georgian wine, adding a distinctive bottle to a meal, or giving to someone who appreciates origin, vintage and traditional winemaking. Store away from light and heat, then serve at the recommended temperature. ๐
