Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Qvevri 750ml 13% (2017)

Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Qvevri is a dry amber qvevri wine from Kakheti, Georgia, made from Rkatsiteli 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. 🍇

The winemaking follows traditional qvevri fermentation, extended skin contact and ageing. This approach allows the fruit, the vintage and the place of origin to remain central to the wine’s 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 Rkatsiteli Qvevri is best opened with care and given a short moment in the glass before tasting.

Expect a grape-led aroma with gentle herbal nuance. On the palate, it has a dry, textured and balanced palate. The result is a wine with detail and balance rather than a heavy or overworked profile. Serve it at 12–14°C to let the aroma, texture and finish show clearly. Tchotiashvili Rkatsiteli Qvevri works equally well at the dinner table and when a more distinctive bottle is wanted for sharing. 🍷

Food pairing is straightforward: enjoy it with roast poultry, richer fish dishes, aged cheese, walnuts and Georgian cuisine. The wine’s 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 numbered 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. 🎁
