Mildiani Kisi "Qvevri" 2017 (0,75 L)

The Mildiani Vineyard is the leading winery of the gorgeous Kakheti region,  at the foothills of the Caucasus mountains, being the maker of this excellent white wine, made of the specially aromatic “kisi” grape, one of the more than 500 indigenous grape varieties in Georgia.

Thanks to the Qvevri production method used, being the ancient winemaking technology in Georgia, and the grape variety traditional to the country, the wine is deep, transparent straw yellow in colour, with reflections. On the nose, it is mature but at the same time extremely fresh, with herbal notes, and floral honey and ripe citrus fruit tones. Ageing in a Qvevri for 6 months results in a unique flavour palette achieved, combining the notes of the nose with subtle tannins, a pleasant acidity, a hint of stone fruit, and a velvety bitterness. The wine is of a relatively fuller character, yet lightness and real elegance dominate the structure of this very likeable special orange tone wine.

It is an excellent choice for almond trout, chestnut turkey, aged semi-hard cheeses, or as an accompaniment to a good pheasant soup.

Recommended temperature for consumption: 10-12 °C
