What an experience! I’d seen this wine during a TV program about Georgia and I heard a lot about this grape Rkatsiteli ( very ancient grape…since 1011). Amber color, fruit taste and walnut tones. Level of acidity is so perfect and the final so complex with notes of sweet at the end. Bad news is it’s very difficult to find. No more than 2500 bottles ( 2015 vintage at least).

Grand Jury du Vin - Republic of Georgia; 11/1/2023-11/9/2023 (Republic of Georgia then stopover in Paris and Dijon): Attractive and interesting yellow wine nose displaying generous dry yellow fruit nose, dry apricot and yellow peach, dry orange peel, strong honey, anise, petrol and iron mineral. Orazio mentions strong Chamomile which is a great description. Very good concentration, generous dry yellow fruit, rich, sweet and warm, medium acidity, iron mineral, and a long sweet dry yellow fruit driven finish. This is an interesting and tasty wine.
