Rkatsiteli Qvevri – Mikashvili Wines

Discover the soul of Georgian viticulture with this Rkatsiteli Qvevri from Mikashvili estate. Crafted according to a tradition more than 8,000 years old, this orange wine is vinified and aged in qvevri, the famous buried terracotta amphorae, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

An authentic and fascinating orange wine

Its amber color with coppery reflections heralds an extraordinary tasting experience. The nose reveals complex aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, honey, nuts, and dried flowers.

On the palate, the wine offers a full-bodied and structured texture. The prolonged skin maceration provides a slight, perfectly integrated tannic frame, while a beautiful freshness balances the whole. The finish is long, saline, and particularly expressive.

The Georgian qvevri tradition

Made from the emblematic grape variety Rkatsiteli, this wine is produced according to the ancestral Georgian method of fermenting and aging wine in large buried amphorae. This unique technique gives the wine depth, complexity, and character.
