■ Aroma: Fresh and highly aromatic, with bursting notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, and cranberry, complemented by subtle nuances of white pepper and earth.

Georgia's Oldest Grape Variety "Tsolikouri" and Traditional Kvevri

Tsolikouri is widely considered one of Georgia's oldest grape varieties, dating back centuries. Traditionally cultivated in the Racha and Imereti regions, it is renowned for producing very elegant and light red wines with vibrant acidity and delicate fruit flavors.

The grapes are organically grown and hand-harvested. Fermentation occurs naturally in traditional clay vessels called "Kvevri" buried underground, using only wild, indigenous yeasts. Human intervention is minimized throughout the winemaking process, with zero or minimal addition of sulfites, and bottled completely unfiltered.

Recommended perfect matches for this wine:

• ■ Charcuterie and Duck Pâté – The wine's vibrant acidity perfectly cuts through the richness of cured meats and fatty pâtés, refreshing the palate.
• ■ Grilled Salmon or Tuna – Being very light and fresh, it acts like a robust rosé, harmonizing perfectly with fatty seafood grills without overpowering their flavors.
• ■ Tomato-based Pastas and Margherita Pizza – The wine's bright, refreshing red fruit notes wonderfully complement the natural acidity of rich tomato sauces.

Serving Temperature: 12℃ to 14℃ (Slightly Chilled) (Enjoy its true richness at this temperature range)

Western Georgia (Imereti / Racha)

The humid and mild climate of Western Georgia, along with its unique soil rich in clay and limestone, provides the perfect environment for Tsolikouri. This cool, moist terroir helps preserve the grape's characteristic sharp acidity and prevents the delicate red fruit flavors from over-ripening.
