Dakishvili Cuvee Amber Dry Quevri FS 2023, 0,75 L

There are wines that you taste and immediately understand why Georgia is regarded as the birthplace of viticulture. This Family Selection falls firmly into that category. Authentic, full of character and far removed from mass-produced wines, it demonstrates how compelling traditional winemaking can be today. The white wine is made exclusively from indigenous grape varieties, comprising 70% Kisi, 20% Mtsvane and 10% Rkatsiteli, and is matured for over a year in clay amphorae (Qvevri).

In the glass, the wine shows an intense amber colour. The nose is complex and reveals new facets with a little air. Dried apricots, candied orange peel, herbs, spices, and subtle notes of tea and honey create an intriguing interplay of aromas. On the palate, this white wine cuvée is powerful and structured, yet remains precise and well balanced. The extended maceration in traditional Qvevris provides a fine tannin structure and gives the wine its distinctive character. Juicy fruit complements this and brings harmony to its bold style.

The Dakishvili family is among the most respected producers in Georgia, combining a winemaking tradition that spans thousands of years with uncompromising quality standards. The result is a wine with clear origin, character and a memorable identity.

This Amber Dry Wine pairs particularly well with oriental dishes, braised meats, spicy vegetable dishes or mature hard cheeses. Those seeking something beyond the familiar will find it here. This Georgian wine is not one to be enjoyed casually, but one that invites attention and lingers in the memory.
