Mildiani Bouquet Qvevri Kisi 2014

Mildiani Bouquet Qvevri Kisi 2014

Prices start from £35.95 per bottle Buying options
Description

This magnificent orange wine was made in Georgian qvevri, the traditional clay amphorae. According to the tradition, in qvevri, the grape juice is fermented together with the grape skins. Because of this, the wine gains a fuller body, tannins and becomes amber in colour. Mildiani Bouquet Qvevri Kisi shows generous flavours of apricot, mango, lime and orange, typical for Kisi, an aromatic indigenous grape. These aromas are enhanced by the secondary, 'qvevri' notes of walnuts, honey and sun-dried herbs. Fresh and full-bodied, the wine has beautifully integrated soft tannins.

Mildiani Bouquet Qvevri Kisi is a great match to both meat and fish and it creates gorgeous pairings with flavourful Moroccan and other Middle Eastern dishes.

Julia Harding, Master of Wine:

“Deep, orangey gold. Spicy and golden. Really tannic – the tannins adding to the freshness. Demanding but still balanced between fruit and tannic structure. Chewy, long and cries out for food.”

Wine Origins

Georgia

Natural wines, orange and amphorae wines, terroir-driven wines, indigenous grapes – Georgia seems to be on top of every wine trend out there. However for Georgians, these are not trends. These are ancient winemaking traditions, several millennia old. The country boasts more than 8,000 vintages, nevertheless Georgian wines have come to world wine map only recently - which makes them even more exciting to try!

Kisi

Kisi is a rare but a rather exciting white indigenous variety. It comes from Kakheti region in the south-eastern Georgia. Despite its potential to produce high quality wines, during the Soviet era Kisi plantings became almost extinct. Kisi is often fermented in Georgian qvevri, making rich and complex amber wines. It also makes fragrant European-style whites.
