Kakheti Dry Rkatsiteli

Where it all began. But there's got to be better out there. RS. And oily. I can see where this could go-if the fermentation was not so hot.

From the foothills of Georgia's Caucus Mountains, is this softly-hewn Rkatsiteli. Interestingly, this is a variety that was planted in my former estate vineyard, in a single test row. Kindzmarauli's interpretation of this ancient, indigenous white brings back memories. Bruised pear, dried orange peel and wild prairie flowers. Full and round in the mouth, like a welcome embrace, with low acidity and rather vinous orchard fruit and dried pineapple overtones. 13.5% ABV Sample | 8.8 Points

Rkatsiteli - dry white wine

Tasteless and bitter, such a poor imitation of the noble and ancient Rkatziteli.

Tastes like sake. Didn't enjoy. Too fruity and sweet

A bit too fruity for my taste. Not as dry as I expected either. Tastes better as it gets closer to room temperature.

melted butter. but a wee too funky for a whole glass.

Fruit-driven, steely, softly tannic, lean in the acidity.
