Alapiani's Marani Goruli Mtsvane Kartli 2021 [Georgia / Amber / Dry]

■ Appearance: A brilliant golden amber with a beautiful, natural, unfiltered cloudiness.

■ Aroma: An expressive, herbaceous aroma with notes of dried apricot, wild mountain herbs, and beeswax, with a touch of roasted walnuts.

The wild energy of "Gori Green"

Goruli Mtsvane, meaning "Gori Green," is a late-ripening white grape variety indigenous to central Georgia. It is highly prized for its vibrant aromas and its unique ability to produce fresh, crisp, yet well-structured and complex amber wines through skin contact.

The grapes are organically cultivated and hand-harvested. Fermentation occurs naturally with wild yeasts in traditional Qvevri, buried deep underground and lined with beeswax. After approximately six months of maceration with skins, seeds, and stems, the wine is bottled completely unfiltered. Sulfite additions are either minimized or completely absent.

With its firm tannic structure and savory depth, this amber wine has the power to pair perfectly with rich, complex, and earthy dishes.

• ■ Herb-Roasted Chicken – The wine's wild botanical notes harmonize beautifully with rosemary and thyme, while its bright acidity cuts through the rich pan juices.
• ■ Aged Sheep's Milk Cheese (Manchego or Pecorino) – The tea-like tannins and nutty nuances resonate perfectly with the firm, crystalline texture of the cheese.
• ■ Rich Mushroom and Walnut Stew – The traditional Georgian flavor profile of walnuts and earth matches perfectly with the deep, savory, Qvevri-aged character of the wine.

Serving Temperature: 10℃-12℃ (Enjoy at this temperature to bring out its full richness)

Kaspi Municipality, Kartli Region

The Kartli region is located at a higher elevation than Eastern Georgia, resulting in a cooler, milder climate. This cool environment allows the grapes to ripen slowly, maintaining sharp, vibrant acidity while reflecting the unique character of the region's mineral-rich soil directly into the glass.
