Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
Historic cradle of the vine (8,000 years, UNESCO), 500+ native grapes. Signature Saperavi as a teinturier red: dense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice, leather, spices and a smoky touch, firm tannins and lively acidity - great ageing. Rkatsiteli in white (~45%), lively and structured (citrus, apricot, honey). The millennia-old qvevri tradition (buried jars): "ambers" on skins with notes of dried fruits, walnut, black tea.
