Supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, fine tannins and fresh acidity, on aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, sweet spices, dried flowers and earthy notes. Elegant palate, taut finish. Star of Jura appellations (Arbois AOC, Côtes du Jura AOC), notably on the gravelly terroirs of Montigny-lès-Arsures. Also planted in California and Portugal as Bastardo (one of Port's five noble grapes). Native Jura variety.
Cradle of amber and orange wines, vinified in qvevri (buried clay jars, UNESCO). Skin-macerated Rkatsiteli whites: signature notes of dried apricot, walnut, honey, orange peel and black tea, fine tannins and controlled oxidation. Deep, tinctorial Saperavi reds with black fruit, plum, spice and firm tannins, age-worthy. Also Mtsvane and Kisi in white, fresh and floral.
