ABOUT

Qvevri are large earthenware vessels used for the fermentation, storage and ageing of traditional Georgian wine. Resembling large, egg-shaped amphorae without handles, they are either buried below ground or set into the floors of large wine cellars. Qvevris vary in size: volumes range from 20 litres to around 10,000; 800 is typical. This is the oldest known known way of making wine dating back to over 6000 years.

TASTING NOTES

Medium gold in the glass, this native Georgian wine made in traditional clay jars has a nose of toffee and peach with a pleasing touch of oxidation. It is harmonious on the palate, offering a sophisticated mélange of toasted apple, vanilla, lemon, toffee and spice flavors. Soft tannins make way for a bright finish with a lingering taste of caramel.
