Discover the grape variety: Riminèse
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the group of ancient varieties that have virtually disappeared from commercial production. A rare white grape variety, poorly documented, grown in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Akhasheni
Georgian appellation of the Gurjaani district in Kakheti (east of the country, distinguished since 1958), vinified in a signature semi-sweet style from exclusive Saperavi (3-5% residual sugar). Deep garnet-red with velvety texture: opulent and jammy with notes of ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, cocoa, and a balsamic spice touch — sweetness balanced by Saperavi's natural acidity. A historic expression of the Alazani Valley, ideal with chocolate desserts.
The wine region of Kakheti
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.
The word of the wine: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
