Shalvino Qvevri Amber Rkatsiteli

Shalvino · Kakheti · Georgia

Shalvino Qvevri Amber Rkatsiteli is an white wine from Georgia, in the Kakheti region (Eastern Georgia, the country's principal wine region, between the Greater Caucasus mountains and the Alazani river.), made principally from Rkatsiteli. An 8,000-year-tradition amber wine fermented in clay qvevri — the ancestral skin-contact white.

In character, this value tier delivers the classic rkatsiteli profile — quince, apple, floral, hay — with the structural stamp of Kakheti and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
