Tchotiashvili Muskaturi SB 2018 Dry Amber Wine 750ml 12% (Georgia)
🍷 Tchotiashvili Muskaturi SB 2018 is a Georgian dry amber wine made from Muskaturi Rkatsiteli grapes in Kakheti. The 2018 harvest is presented in a 750ml bottle with 12% alcohol. Its amber colour, named grape variety and traditional qvevri method make it a distinctive choice for exploring Georgian wine with food.
🏺 Fermentation and maturation take place in qvevri using the traditional Kakhetian method. SB means Specially Bottled: selected wines from a vintage are checked individually and signed by the winemaker before release. Each bottle is numbered, and production is limited. The handwritten front label, beige paper and red wax capsule are part of this presentation. This bottle was filled on 30 June 2020.
🌸 The wine has a pronounced varietal aroma and a soft, harmonious taste. The winery's Muskaturi Rkatsiteli SB profile describes floral notes, honey and tropical fruit, with a full, elegant palate, fresh acidity, light tannins and a long finish. These are the producer's description of the wine's style; the grape's aromatic character is central to its appeal. Tchotiashvili Muskaturi Rkatsiteli SB 2018 brings that character together with qvevri maturation.
🍽️ Serve Tchotiashvili Muskaturi SB at 14–16°C. The producer recommends decanting and pairing with seafood, light fish dishes, grilled vegetables and aromatic cheese. Mildly spicy dishes also suit its fragrant profile. An ample wine glass provides room for the bouquet to open. For a shared meal, choose dishes whose seasoning complements the wine's floral character and harmonious texture.
✨ Tchotiashvili Muskaturi Rkatsiteli SB 2018 is unfiltered, so a small natural sediment may occur. Pour gently if you prefer to leave it in the bottle. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Its numbered SB presentation makes it an interesting gift for someone who enjoys discovering individual Georgian grape varieties and traditional winemaking. The wine contains sulphites.
