Description

This full-bodied Georgian orange wine reveals multidimensional aromas of ripe apricots, honey, orange peel, walnuts, almonds and exotic spices. Fresh and well-structured on the palate, it was born to be aged. This is a wine as natural as it can be with, hence little sediment may be present.

The grapes for Mildiani Rkatsiteli Unfiltered come from old vines grown at altitudes of 700 metres above sea level in Kakheti, Georgia. The wine was crafted according to the ancient Georgian qvevri tradition. Crushed grapes put in qvevri – large clay amphorae burried undeground. The wine was wildly fermented and aged on the grapes skins in qvevri for six months. No sulphites were added.

Julia Harding, Master of Wine:

“Deep, orangey gold. Glorious aroma of golden apricots. Deep, tannic and intense. Fabulous style with concentration, dry texture and sour, smoky (lapsang tea) freshness. You can just about drink this on its own, but I think it will be great with 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!
