Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Orange wine that is a 50/50 blend of Rkasitelli and Mtsvane. Aged and fermented in qvevri. Beautiful amber gold. Heady aromas of wildflowers, pineapple guava, cantaloupe, almonds and the incense wafting out of the backroom of an Arab souk. All that on the palate too, rich and racy at the same time. Absolutely mesmerizing. I have a headache this morning because our host left the bottle too close to me and I couldn't leave it alone. Serve at room temperature, not chilled.

Yes, those buried clay jars make such unique wines, no? Well, here's to 8000 years of wine experience.
Headache worth it.

My friend bought this one on Friday--and they were already sold out. I wonder if they'll get more in, maybe not because I know it's a handsell. But what a bargain for $22ish.
