Kakheti Kisi Amber Dry Wine 2023 — a unique Georgian amber (orange) wine from Kakheti, made using a long-standing tradition in a ceramic vessel called qvevri. Here is its mother and bright portrait:
Color: Rich amber with warm golden brilliance — a result of prolonged aging on grape skins (leaves and seeds) in qvevri.
Aroma: Complex and captivating. It features advanced notes of dried fruits, dry herbs, and field grasses, complemented by delicate nuances of almonds and a light honey finish.
Taste: Full-bodied, structured, and "genuine." It possesses a pleasant velvety aspect (tannins), fresh acidity, and a long finish with notes of dried fruits and spices.
Origin: 100% Kisi — a rare and noble local variety that brings special depth and aristocracy to this amber style.
This wine deserves worthy pairings. It will splendidly enhance the flavors of cool fish, roasted chicken (especially the chicken itself), as well as harmonious combinations with nuts (zucchini, eggplant).
It is recommended to consume it at 12–14 °C to fully reveal its rich texture.
