Askaneli - Rkatsiteli Qvevri White Dry

Origin: Produced in the Kakheti region of Georgia, a place renowned for its rich winemaking heritage, Askaneli Winery draws on centuries-old techniques combined with modern expertise to create a wine that is both timeless and refined.

Grape Variety: 100% Rkatsiteli, one of Georgia’s oldest and most widely cultivated grape varieties, known for its ability to produce complex, full-bodied wines with excellent aging potential.

Taste Profile: This light golden-amber wine offers aromas of white cherry, dried fig and dried herbs​. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with hints of quince, spices, and earthy undertones, balanced by a vibrant acidity and smooth tannins.

Craftsmanship: This wine is crafted using the qvevri method, where Rkatsiteli grapes are fermented naturally with wild yeast, allowing for a slow and controlled fermentation. The wine is aged in buried clay vessels, which enhance its depth and complexity, resulting in a rich and nuanced flavor profile​.

Serving Suggestions: Pairs well with Chinese roast duck and classic chickpea falafel. Best served at 10-13°C to fully appreciate its aromatic and structured profile.
