Winner of numerous medals at International Wine Competitions, including a silver medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, this single estate dry white wine is made from the traditional Georgian grape varieties Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane, harvested in the Tsinandali micro-zone of Kakheti. Every year the winemaker selects the very best Rkatsiteli and Mstvane grapes, based on flavour, balance and the retention of fresh crisp fruit acids. This fruit is then handpicked and carefully processed in order to retain the fruit aroma – the wine uniting the full body and high sugar level of the Rkatsiteli grapes with the aroma and freshness of the Mstvane. The wine is then fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 9 months.

The result is a wine with a deep straw colour and a powerful aroma and flavour. On the nose there is melon and vanilla, while in the mouth honey washes over the tongue, ending with a long lasting apple taste, slightly sour due to the oak barrel aging. The 2005 vintage is restricted to 11,600 bottles.

Try with dry cheese, fried fish, and poultry.
