The wine region of Mukuzani
Georgian micro-AOC in Kakheti at the Caucasus foothills, clay-limestone soils. Saperavi monovarietal signature (native teinturier with red pulp, 5-6 millennia in Kakheti). Signature full-bodied deep reds with notes of black candied cherry, blackberry, plum, ink, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and a balsamic oaky touch, firm tannins and dense palate — dark robe, minimum 3-year oak ageing, long-keeping. Venerable Caucasus gastronomic wine.
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: Saignée (rosé de)
Rosé wine made from a vat of black grapes after a short maceration period.
