Loladze RKATSITELI+MTSVANE Qvevri dry wine – 0,75 l

Loladze Rkatsiteli + Mtsvane Qvevri – Georgian Amber Wine

From the historic heart of Georgia comes this exceptional Amber (Orange) wine by the Loladze Family Winery. Crafted with profound respect for both tradition and nature, this wine is a masterclass in the ancient Georgian method of skin-contact fermentation. Utilizing Qvevri—large clay vessels buried deep in the earth—the Loladze family creates a wine of extraordinary structure, depth, and raw character.

This wine is a traditional blend of Georgia’s two most iconic white grape varieties:

• Rkatsiteli: Provides the structural backbone, high acidity, and rich tannins.

• Mtsvane: Adds a delicate floral elegance and aromatic lift.

Harvested entirely by hand, these grapes undergo a lengthy maceration on their skins (maceration) inside the Qvevri. This process, free from industrial chemicals or filtration, allows the wine to develop its mesmerizing copper-amber hue and a robust, multi-layered personality.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, brilliant amber with copper reflections.

• Aroma: A rich and inviting bouquet of dried apricots, wild honey, roasted nuts, and a medley of mountain herbs.

• Palate: Complex and full-bodied. The palate reveals ripe orchard fruits harmonized with firm, silky tannins and a distinct mineral undertone characteristic of the Georgian terroir.

• Finish: Long, structured, and vibrant, maintaining a natural freshness that lingers beautifully.

Sommelier’s Recommendations:

• Serving Temperature: 12–14°C. Avoid serving too cold to allow the complex aromas to shine.

• Food Pairing: The structural tannins make this wine incredibly food-friendly. It is a perfect match for blue cheeses, grilled vegetables, spicy Asian cuisine, or traditional Georgian dishes like Satsivi (chicken in walnut sauce).

• Decanting: Briefly decanting the wine will help it “wake up” and fully express its aromatic potential.
