🍇 About Mtsvane & Kakheti

Mtsvane, meaning "green" in Georgian, is a noble white grape varietal celebrated for its lively aromatics and fresh acidity. While typically used in crisp white wines, skin-contact fermentation transforms Mtsvane into an amber wine of deep character, allowing floral and citrus notes to evolve into dried fruit, spice, and savory complexity.

Kakheti, located in eastern Georgia, is the country’s premier wine region, home to thousands of years of continuous winemaking. This region is also the birthplace of qvevri winemaking, a UNESCO-recognized cultural treasure. Wines made in qvevri are revered for their depth, authenticity, and ability to age gracefully.

With its textured palate, bold structure, and complex aromatics, this amber wine offers a taste of tradition that wine lovers around the world are rediscovering.

An essential bottle for adventurous palates, natural wine fans, or anyone interested in the roots of winemaking civilization.
