Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber 2018

Introducing the Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber, an exceptional wine from the enchanting region of Kakheti in Georgia, located on the right bank of the Alazani River. This area, renowned for its centuries-old winemaking traditions, is the birthplace of countless legendary Georgian wines. The Cuvee Amber is a beautiful blend of three indigenous grape varieties: Kisi, Rkatsiteli, and Mtsvane, which perfectly complement the unique terroir of Kakheti, offering a complex aroma and taste experience. The grapes are carefully harvested from the Dakishvili family vineyards, located in the picturesque village of Kondoli. The wine is traditionally vinified in Qvevri, large clay vessels used for both fermentation and aging. This ancient winemaking process not only adds depth to the wine but also creates a special connection with the grape skins. The prolonged contact with the skins gives the wine its distinctive amber color, making it truly special. With an alcohol content of 13%, the Cuvee Amber strikes the perfect balance between elegance and power.

The Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber is a unique wine that should not be missing from your collection!

Flavor Character Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber

The Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber has a stunning amber color, typical of Qvevri wines, and is visually a true pleasure. The aroma is rich and complex, with notes of dried fruit, a hint of almonds, and a subtle touch of sweet spices. These scents are further enhanced by the influence of the grapes, creating a refined balance between fruity and nutty nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with a beautiful harmony between sweetness, freshness, and tannins. The finish is long and refined, making each sip a memorable experience that lingers pleasantly.

This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes. Due to its rich structure and soft tannins, it is an excellent choice with grilled meats such as lamb chops, grilled chicken, or roasted sausages. Its spicy profile also makes it an ideal companion for smoked fish or cheeses like goat cheese. It also complements sushi perfectly, where the tannins beautifully pair with salty soy sauce, while the fruity notes enhance the delicate flavors of the fish. Grilled vegetables such as eggplant and bell peppers bring out the wine in a delightful way. To fully experience the Dakishvili Family Selection Cuvee Amber, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 12-14°C. This ensures that the complex aromas and flavors are fully expressed, refining and enriching the drinking experience.
