Winiveria Kisi (75cl, 12.5%)

Winiveria Kisi is a Georgian amber wine made from 100% Kisi grapes, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The grapes are cultivated in the Ahkmeta vineyard near Khorkheli and Tibaani in Kakheti, then crushed and pressed into buried qvevri clay vessels, where they ferment with native yeast and remain on their skins for five to seven months. The wine is bottled unfiltered. The nose opens with ripe yellow apple and pear, then dried herbs, almonds, dried apricot, tobacco leaf and warm baking spices. The palate is medium-bodied, with dried peach and apricot, gentle spice and a savory edge, plus tannic grip from the extended skin maceration. The finish is dry and persistent, with clean minerality and toasted almond.
