The Rkatsiteli Qvevris from the Georgian winery Tbilvino is a beautiful orange wine to serve during an extensive dinner. The base, the Rkatsitelli grape, gives the wine extra spice and special character. But it is not only the grape that makes Rkatsiteli Qvevris so special. The wine is made according to the Georgian traditional method – a full maceration and a gradual cold fermentation of about 5 months in the underground Qvevris (amphora barrels / pottery jars). This gives the wine special properties -tannin-rich, deep and full taste. It is not surprising that this wine has already received special awards and prizes at international wine competitions six times in a row.
The Tbilvino Rkatsiteli Qvevris is a dry yet smooth, well-balanced, and creamy orange wine with 12.5% alcohol content. It boasts an amber hue and presents a rich bouquet of dried flowers, banana, nuts, and pine on the nose. On the palate, it features mild tannins, silky smoothness, and creaminess, accompanied by notes of dried apricot, subtle citrus (grapefruit), and hints of herbs.
This Rkatsiteli Qvevris pairs excellently with meat dishes, particularly lamb stew and barbecue.
