Alazani Valley – Teliani Valley
Price: 8.49 GBP (Equivalent per bottle) ABV: 11.5%
Endprice: GBP
A pale golden medium sweet wine, made from local Rkatsiteli grapes and grown on the sunny warm valley slopes overlooking the Alazani River in Kakheti. This river system borders Georgia and Azerbaijan, where the warmer climate leads to sweeter grapes. On the nose it has rich aromas of poached pear and ripe apple with a hint of honey. On the palate, there are flavours of baked apple, sultanas and candied peel; gently sweet with natural grape sugars and balanced by the zesty, fresh acidity typical of the grape variety.
Desserts like apple crumble or fruit tarts, as well as blue cheese, would be good matches.
