Description

Tasting Georgian wines for the first time will most likely turn all your pre-existing knowledge and experience about wines upside down.  The products of this country with an 8000 year – old viticulture will resemble nothing you ever tasted before.  The deep amber and purple coloured, seemingly endless variety of mind-boggigly complex and flavour-rich wines, that ferment spontaneously in the ground in amfora-shaped clay vessels ( qvevri-s) will, if you let them,  lead you to a mistical-mythical realm, where being shaken to your core by ancient, inexplicably familiar flavours is a high probability.

Rkatsiteli is currently the most popular and widely grown grape variety in Georgia. Ruispiri’s  2019 vintage shows the well recognisable style of the winery. It is a medium body, outstandingly stabile and neat, slightly lighter amber coloured natural wine. Nice and fruity-smooth,  lot less  tannin than Khikvi and Kisi.
