Winiveria Kisi Qvevri 2017

Cellar for up to 10 years. It doesn’t need decanting but it is recommended to open it an hour before serving it.

Winiveria winery is one of Georgia's first agritourism businesses, in partnership with the stunning Chateau Mere resort. The company prides itself on producing authentic Georgian wines made using traditional Kakhetian methods dating back over 8,000 years and indigenous grape varieties. The winery seeks to continue the revival of the natural wine movement in Georgia.

Kisi Qvevri is a beautiful orange wine made from the indigenous Kisi grape, grown in the vineyards around the village of Khorkheli. This grape, abandoned for a long time, was considered completely lost. Fortunately, several wineries have recently rediscovered it and now produce fine wines with the traditional Kakhetian fermentation technique. The method, which consists of a long maceration of the must on the skins and maturation in the typical terracotta pots called Qvevri, produces deep wines of great intensity.

Winiveria Kisi Qvevri has a beautiful amber color, aromas of dried apricot and peach, and very pleasant spicy notes. In the mouth, it is soft and dense with a round and full taste and well balanced freshness. The wine goes well with stewed or cooked meats. But it can also be an excellent accompaniment to a platter of aged and goat cheeses.
