THE traditional orange wine from Georgia!

This wine, from the Tsinandali zone in Kakheti, is completely naturally made, using the ancient Qvevri method of fermentation in deeply-buried Qvevri (large fired-clay amphorae lined with beeswax), allowing for a long, slow fermentation and gentle, controlled oxidation to create the unique tangy style of amber wine.

In the glass, the wine is a medium-amber with notes of fresh fruit and herbs, and long, tangy, mineral-driven finish. A perfect introduction to Amber or Orange wines!

"Perhaps the biggest surprise with well-made qvevri wines is that they do not have a pronounced oxidative character. Looking back at 50 or more tasting notes from a recent visit, not once did I write “sherry-like”, or use any other tell-tale descriptors. Yes, the aromas can be surprising and dense – cooked fruits, honey, jasmine, herbs and floral notes are all common in the whites – but they are quite distinct from deliberately oxidised styles like the Jura’s Vin Jaune or Chateau Musar Blanc."

— Simon J Woolf, author of Amber Revolution
