🍷 Tchotiashvili Khikhvi Rkatsiteli Amber Wine – Rkatsiteli 2018 is a distinguished dry amber wine, produced by the Tchotiashvili Family Winery in Kakheti, Georgia — the ancient cradle of winemaking, where tradition and terroir merge into pure art.
This exceptional blend of Khikhvi and Rkatsiteli, two of Georgia’s most noble white grape varieties, showcases perfect harmony between elegance and structure — the floral softness of Khikhvi balanced by the richness and strength of Rkatsiteli.
Made using the traditional Kakhetian qvevri method, the wine ferments and matures for several months with full contact on skins, pips, and stems in large clay vessels buried underground.
No additives are used, only minimal SO₂ for sanitation, and the wine is unfiltered, preserving its authenticity, texture, and natural character.
