Tbilvino ‘Qvevris’ Rkatsiteli 2020/21, Georgia

Description

Tbilvino is one of Georgia’s most important wineries. For over 60 years, they’ve been dedicated to showcasing the best of their country’s wines and native grape varieties, using both traditional and modern techniques to produce a wide range of delicious styles. This white is made with Rkatsiteli, believed to be one of the oldest grape varieties in the world. The juice is fermented with the grape skins in ‘qvevri’ – clay pots buried in the ground – resulting in a beautiful amber colour and rounded texture, plus aromatic notes of apricot and pear. Thanks to its fuller body, it’ll make an excellent match for smoky lamb dishes.
