Blend of several wild grapes authentic to southern Georgia / Samtskhe Javakheti region.
Enemy invesions and occupations destroyed the village and vineyards of Meskheti Region. Over the past decade, i have been working to bring back the local endemic vines. So far, i have been able to identify 24 of the 40 varietals that are located in the wild. I forage these grapes at harvest time and make small quantities of these wines. Grape was fermented with skins and without stems for 6 months in Qvevri.
Made from wild foraged grapes and fermented with the skins for six months in Qvevri. I like this one a lot more than the red version. This is a very nice wine. Crisp and light and mineral with just the right amount of tannins. Fresh apricots, Orange blossoms, and crushed granite rock. Delicious.
