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

Anyone who believes orange wine is a recent trend has never been to Georgia. There, wines have been aged for thousands of years in large clay amphorae, known as qvevris. This amber wine clearly demonstrates why this tradition is receiving more attention today than ever before.

Its intense amber colour immediately sparks curiosity. The nose reveals aromas of dried apricots, candied citrus fruits, herbs and delicate spices. With a little air, notes of honey, orange peel and a hint of tea emerge. On the palate, this Kisi is powerful and complex, yet surprisingly precise. The maceration period gives it a fine tannin structure that provides grip and adds interest. At the same time, it remains harmonious and easy to drink.

The Dakishvili family is among Georgia’s leading producers and has an exceptional understanding of how to combine traditional methods with the highest standards of quality. The indigenous Kisi grape variety offers distinctive aromas and depth, which harmonise beautifully with ageing in qvevri.

This amber wine pairs well with robust dishes. It is particularly suited to oriental cuisine, braised lamb, spiced vegetable dishes or mature cheeses. A wine for those who enjoy discovery, showing how a thousand-year-old tradition can still taste remarkably contemporary.
