Dugladze Ranina Kakhuri Georgian Wine (Amber/Orange Qvevri Wine)

Country : Georgia 🍷 🍷 Region: Kakheti 🍷 🍷 Grape Variety: Rkatsiteli 🍷 🍷 Type: Dry amber 🍷 🍷 Alcohol: 12,5% Made from the historically robust white Rkatsiteli grape grown on the dark clay soils of the Kakhetian vineyards, this is made in the traditional fashion with fermentation on skins and stems in Qvevri where is remains for around 6 months before bottling. The wine itself is a fantastic value introduction to Orange Wine, full bodied, with gently intense peach and dried apricot flavours. Exotic and mouthfilling with a dry and gently tannic finish, this can be drunk with a wide range of dishes, including roast chicken and mature cheeses. The distinctive label is a tribute to traditional Georgian folk song. '' Dugladze has one of the most advanced wineries in Georgia. Dugladze manage to combine the ancient qvevri techniques and traditional varieties such as Kisi with really considered winemaking resulting in delicious, strikingly presented and – most importantly – great value wines'' - Jeremy Lithgow MW
