Teliani Valley Kakhuri No.8 Amber Dry 2022
Teliani Valley Kakhuri No.8 Amber Dry is a distinctive wine from Georgia, originating from the renowned Kakheti wine region, located at the foot of the majestic Caucasus Mountains. This region is famous for its centuries-old vineyard traditions and indigenous grape varieties, which give this wine its characteristic flavor and amber color. The wine is a blend of four traditional Georgian white grapes: Rkatsiteli (40%), Kakhuri Mtsvane (40%), Khikhvi (10%), and Kisi (10%). These carefully selected grapes are harvested from the estate’s own vineyards in the Manavi microzone (Rkatsiteli and Kakhuri Mtsvane) and the Akhmeta region (Kisi and Khikhvi).
Teliani Valley Kakhuri No.8 Amber Dry is produced using the traditional Kakheti method. After harvesting, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation with skin contact for 7 to 10 days, which creates the distinctive amber color and enhances the aromatic profile. This is followed by a secondary malolactic fermentation lasting 15 days, after which the wine ages on the skins for an additional 6 months. This process gives the wine a fuller body, soft tannins, and a harmonious complexity. The wine has an alcohol content of 12.5%.
This exquisite wine is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts seeking an authentic Georgian wine with a rich flavor, elegant bouquet, and excellent aging potential.
