A lyrical amber wine where fruit, leaf, and earth compose the melody.
This dry 2022 Rkatsiteli Mtsvane amber wine is a harmonious blend of Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane, two ancient Georgian grapes known for their balance and aromatic depth. Crafted by Chito’s Gvino using the time-honoured qvevri method, the wine is fermented and aged with skins, seeds, and stems for seven months in large clay vessels buried underground.
This long contact with the grape solids imparts both colour and complexity, without overwhelming the palate. The result is a wine with elegant structure, light body, and quiet power—an invitation to contemplation, not confrontation.
The bouquet is both vivid and nostalgic: notes of melon and apricot rise first, followed by hints of dried fruit, autumn leaves, and subtle earthiness. On the palate, soft tannins recede gently, leaving the foreground to aromas and a long, resonant finish.
A true sensory experience, best enjoyed with food—or shared in thoughtful silence.
