Experience the ancient winemaking traditions of Georgia with Friends Wine Rkatsiteli Qvevri Amber Wine 2024, a handcrafted amber wine from the renowned Tibanuri microzone in Kakheti, Eastern Georgia.
Made exclusively from hand-harvested Rkatsiteli grapes, this authentic Georgian orange wine is produced using the traditional Kakhetian Qvevri method. The grapes are fermented and aged underground in clay qvevri vessels together with their skins, seeds and stalks, creating remarkable depth, structure and complexity. The wine is left unfiltered, preserving its natural character and unique expression of terroir.
Displaying a brilliant golden-amber colour, this wine reveals enticing aromas of raisins, ripe banana, juicy peach, orange peel and delicate quince. On the palate, it is velvety and full-bodied with refreshing acidity, pronounced tannins and a long, memorable finish.
A perfect companion to seafood, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, aged cheeses and Mediterranean cuisine.
