Light, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, soft tannins, and an airy palate with moderate acidity, offering understated red-fruit aromas. A discreet, rustic Provençal profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of southern France.

The wine region of Tsinandali
Flagship appellation of Georgian dry whites in Kakheti, Alazani valley between Greater Caucasus and Gombori, symbol of refinement since the Chavchavadze estate in the 19th c. Signature strict blend: Rkatsiteli (85% min, structure and acidity) and Mtsvane Kakhuri (15% max, floral). Chiseled whites with notes of citrus, white apple, peach, white flowers, sweet almond and mineral touch, fresh and balanced palate — short oak ageing. Greenish straw robe.
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: Raw
A term whose meaning varies according to the region (terroir or estate), but which everywhere contains the idea of identifying a wine with a specific place of production.
