Made by Gurashvili's Family Vineyards, this distinctive wine showcases the depth, texture and complexity that traditional Georgian qvevri winemaking can bring to Kisi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1022\"\u003eThe family winery is based in Tibaani in the Sighnaghi district of Kakheti, one of Georgia's most historic and important wine-growing regions. The Kisi grapes are grown on rolling vineyard slopes at approximately 400-500 metres above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1058\"\u003eTraditional Qvevri Winemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e The grapes are hand-harvested before being crushed and fermented with their skins using native yeasts in traditional Georgian qvevri - large clay vessels buried underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003eFollowing fermentation, the wine remains in qvevri in contact with the grape skins for approximately 5–7 months. This extended skin contact develops the wine's beautiful amber colour while adding texture, tannin structure and aromatic complexity. The wine is bottled unfiltered with minimal intervention, preserving an authentic expression of the Kisi grape and traditional Georgian winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1829\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold, complex and beautifully textured, Gurashvili Qvevri Kisi 2018 displays inviting aromas of dried apricot, ripe peach, apple and pear alongside savoury, earthy and spicy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2171\"\u003eThe palate is rounded and velvety with generous texture, refreshing acidity and well-integrated tannins. Extended skin contact gives the wine considerably more structure than a conventional white wine, resulting in a distinctive amber wine with layers of ripe fruit, savoury complexity and spice, followed by a long and characterful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2173\" data-end=\"2465\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2173\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003eAbout Kisi:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kisi is an ancient indigenous Georgian white grape variety closely associated with the Kakheti wine region. Once at risk of disappearing, the variety has experienced an impressive revival as Georgian winemakers have returned to native grapes and traditional qvevri winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2467\" data-end=\"2631\"\u003eKisi is particularly well suited to extended skin-contact fermentation, producing distinctive amber wines with impressive aromatic intensity, texture and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2633\" data-end=\"2913\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2633\" data-end=\"2650\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wine's combination of ripe fruit, spice, acidity and gentle tannic structure makes it exceptionally versatile with food.
