This Khikhvi wine is a stunning amber colour in the glass, with an intense nose of white peach, dried apricot, buckwheat honey and freshly picked orchard fruits. The Khikhvi grapes were harvested from the esteemed region of Kakheti, specifically from the microclimates of Napareuli, Tsinandali and Magraani. With an average vine age of 20-40 years, this wine balances a mature character with inherent freshness.
Vine Ponto was founded in 2014 and is spearheaded by winemaker Giorgi Bakuradze. He emphasises preserving and enhancing traditional Georgian techniques, such as the clay qvevri pots that this wine was fermented in. The name Vine Ponto is also a reference to the country’s ancient winemaking history, reminding us of the fact that Georgia is the origin point for the practice of winemaking, as we know it today.
The palate is tannic and full-bodied, with a pleasant oaky outline, gained from ageing in oak barrels. Most of Vine Ponto’s wines are aged in oak, after 6 months of fermentation in qvevri. In terms of flavour, you can discover delicious hints of pear, grapefruit and honey. The subtle sweetness is balanced out by a pleasant bitter aftertaste, similar to a cup of strong herbal tea. Khikhvi is perfect for pairing with soft cheeses, tender lamb, or poultry.

Vine Ponto Khikhvi Qvevri 2017
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
