Rkatsiteli

Rkatsiteli is arguably the most important grape in Georgia. Traditionally these white grapes don’t make typical “white” wines. Here white grapes are fermented with the skins like red wine and have an amber color. The Rkatsiteli expresses savory citrus like persimmon and kumquat along with fleshier notes of pear and apricot and a slightly smoky flavor of incense, cedar, and earth. The woody notes come from the skins and tannin with a fine structure.

Khikhvi

A very rare grape originating out of the far eastern corner of Georgia. This grape is naturally low yielding and gives concentrated flavors. The rich amber color brings with it a density and tannic structure that is captivating. Fruit flavors abound with mandarin orange, ripe peach, and dried apricot. Floral and herbal notes include, jasmine, spearmint, and Rooibos tea. The texture is full and expressive with a minerality that is reminiscent of potters clay and beeswax.

Kisi

Kisi is another rare grape from the Kakheti region in Georgia. It buds late and ripens early so it enjoys a cooler climate. The rich amber color brings with it a rich floral character of herbal tea. The fruits are a little tropical with mango and exotic citrus. On the nose is a combination of orange flowers, lemon balm, and wild fresh herbs. The palate is grippy with tannin and the finish is bright and lingering.

Saperavi

This is no ordinary red grape. There are thousands of red grapes but only a handful have red flesh like this one. The dark flesh of the grape expresses a deep purple hue, signifying body and power. Aromatics of black fruits like currant, blackberry, and plum balance with savory, peppery notes and dry earth. This Saperavi is a full bodied, dry wine that is dense and satisfying with relaxed tannins.
