Pheasant's Tears
Kakheti Kisi-Khikhvi 2017
Funky town! If you smelled this blind, you might think you were about to imbibe a tiki drink. Its appearance is murky and dark amber. In the glass, I taste mai tai, baker’s yeast and grapefruit acidity. Definitely worth trying! Can’t wait to pour this for @Paul Mabray — 5 years ago

Vazi+
Kisi of Qvervi 2012
Изготовлено по традиционной кахетинской технологии. Очень яркое, душистое. Цвет красивый - янтарный, насыщенный. Ароматы мёда, специй, грецкого ореха, сушеных яблок, варенья из айвы. Благородная танинная структура. Долгое послевкусие. — 8 years ago

Vinoterra Kakheti Kisi 2011
This is a really pleasant traditional style orange wine. Floral notes and a mysterious toasted-herbs-de-provence round out this wine. Tannins are a bit rustic, but it works well in this wine. — 10 years ago

Warm almost cognac nose. Lemons, tannins, touch of honey. Lovely sunset orange. Punchy tannic acidity up front. Highly structured body. Some madira notes. Woody in places. A very dynamic and unique wine. — 5 years ago
Marani Ruispiri
Kisi 2017
AFAIK this version is made of organically but non-biodynamically grown grapes (in contrast to the official bottling that has a paper label).
Апельсиновые цукаты, мандариновая шкурка, абрикосовое варенье, сладкая выпечка, виски, грецкий орех, легкая горчинка на финише. Средне-полное тело с достаточной кислотностью и яркими, шершавыми танинами. Прямолинейно, спело, солнечно и выразительно. Не очень сложно, но естественно и с неплохой глубиной. При нагревании начинает чуть-чуть припекать алкоголь. Ещё только встаёт на путь к балансу. — 5 years ago

Best skin-contact Georgian orange I’ve had (available from the local wine shop). Funkier than Dilao. Excellent everyday natural wine.

Mildiani Family Winery
Kisi 2011
Выдержка в квеври, потом год в дубе. Одно из лучших грузинских, что доводилось пробовать. Мощь, характер, сумасшедшая ароматика. Непохоже на Киси. Цвет - интенсивный, насыщенный янтарный. Мёд, засахаренные сухофрукты, благовония, даже мирра, курага, груша. Вкус повторяет аромат, с терпкостью. Очень яркое, запоминающееся. #kisi #mildiani #georgianwine #georgiaonmymind — 8 years ago

Tanini
Qvevri Dry Kisi 2016
Специи, известка, молотый черный перец, прополис, хурма, курага, цедра апельсина, чай, коньячные ноты, грецкий орех. Мощно, объемно и выразительно, с богатой текстурой, хорошей кислотностью и ещё молодыми, но аккуратными танинами. Вначале в носе выпирают не совсем чистые тона стройматериалов, но потом они уходят и остаётся интенсивная перечность, наложенная на фактурную фруктовость. Интересно, хоть и не без вопросов. — 5 years ago

Doqi Winery
Kakheti Saperavi 2015
On the nose, wild dark berries, cherries, grilled meats, loamy dark soils and dark dry soils. The body is leaner for a red wine. Bright, wild dark berries, black raspberries, poached strawberries, grilled meats, soy, black olive pit with flesh, dry red roses, dry, dusty, dark tannins, soft leather, dry stems, coffee grounds, brilliant acidity and a round, lush, bright, drier fruit finish. A steal for $15. Producer notes; the winery is located in the village of Kisiskhevi in Eastern Georgia's Kakheti wine district. It produces wines out of three vineyard sites: Napareuli, Tsinandali, and Kindzmarauli and mostly use native Georgian grape varieties: Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Kisi, and Saperavi. Farming is sustainable in order to maintain biological diversity. Rkatsiteli is ancient variety from rocky vineyards around the village of Napareuli. The grapes are hand-harvested and are pressed and then the juice, grape skins, stalks and pips are poured into a qvevri for further fermentation. It's a large clay vessel. The qvevri is then sealed. After a maceration for several months with the skins, white wines will get an amber or orange color. Photos of; Burkhard Schuchmann and Georgi Dakishvili, vineyard and qvevri clay pots.

Akhoebi Vineyard Kisi 2015
Органолептический восторг. Насыщенный янтарный цвет. Очень ароматное, пряное: яблоки, мёд, специи. Характерная терпкость, в послевкусии - сухофрукты, смола. Пробовала почти на бегу в Тбилиси, но очень впечатлило, обязательно вернуться, обязательно попробовать вновь. Очень интересно, что получится с годами, когда танины несколько укротятся. — 8 years ago
