Satrapezo - Ice Wine Rkatsiteli

Origin

Produced in the renowned Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, Satrapezo Ice Wine Rkatsiteli is crafted from carefully selected Rkatsiteli grapes left on the vine until late harvest, allowing them to naturally concentrate their sugars and aromas. This meticulous process creates a luxurious dessert wine of remarkable richness, elegance, and complexity, showcasing the exceptional potential of Georgia's ancient winemaking tradition.

Taste Profile

Brilliant golden in color, this Ice Wine captivates with an intense bouquet of dried apricot, ripe quince, baked peach, honeycomb, candied citrus peel, acacia blossom, and tropical fruits. The palate is exceptionally rich and velvety, delivering concentrated flavors of honey, caramelized pear, pineapple, mango, and marmalade. Its vibrant natural acidity perfectly balances the sweetness, creating a harmonious, refreshing, and long-lasting finish with elegant notes of vanilla and dried fruits.

Craftsmanship

Only the healthiest grape clusters are selected and harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness to maximize their natural concentration. The grapes are gently pressed to extract their intensely flavored juice, which is slowly fermented under carefully controlled conditions. This labor-intensive process yields a wine of extraordinary purity, complexity, and balance, preserving the vibrant fruit character while enhancing its luxurious sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled at 8–10°C. An exceptional companion to blue cheeses, foie gras, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, and fine pastries. It is equally enjoyable on its own as a sophisticated dessert wine or a memorable finish to a special occasion.
