Gurashvili's Kisi Qvevri 2018

Cellar up to 10-12 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour before serving.

Gurashvili's Family Vineyards is a Georgian brand that traditionally produces a limited range of wines from the local Mtsvane, Kisi, and Saperavi grapes. The winery is located in Tibaani in the famous Kakheti wine region and uses only manual work. The master winemakers invest not only all their knowledge and skills, but also their soul in the production of first-class wines. The limited production and the application of ancient Georgian traditional winemaking methods ensure the unique character of Gurashvili wines, which are protected by geographical names.

This wine is produced with the traditional Qvevri method. A Qvevri is a typically Georgian creation, a large underground clay vessel, in which wines are fermented and aged on both the skins and the stems. This gives Qvevri wines a dimension of flavor and aroma not found in other wines.

Gurashvili's Kisi Qvevri is a typical Georgian orange wine with beautiful aromas of dried fruit, figs, woody notes and a slight oxidation. In the mouth the dried fruit returns, followed by fine acidity, light tannins, full body, and long aftertaste.

It should be decanted and left in the carafe for half an hour as it can open considerably with the air. It goes very well with sausages, lamb filet, and Middle Eastern vegetarian recipes.
