Dry, juicy, golden and pretty — 5 years ago
First Georgian wine, first orange wine, I'm in uncharted territories here 😊. Spoiler alert : I like it very much.
I have issues describing the nose as it's completely new to me : there is a bit of honey, a bit of menthol or petrol, some white flower notes too and a tiny touch of apricot. Wow
Here comes a palate with tannins 😮 a strong acid drive, a good width with matter and a nice thickness, honey and apricot and then that huge spherical mid palate where tannins kick in with a drying thing which creates some asperity and triggers a never-ending finish with that dry mouthfeel and the same honey, apricot touches.
I usually associate honey and apricot touches to sweet wines or some chenin crus. This is very dry, but with a weight and a nice presence. I'm a bit late on the trend but I'll look into orange wines some more (and Georgian wines too) — 5 years ago

Something totally different. The oak comes out very well. Earthy with a taste of apple. Long after taste. — 6 years ago
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. — 6 years ago
Great wine! Decant 2h before and drink at room temperature. Tastes of apricot and honey, mellow sweetness, very little acid. — 4 years ago

Cool wine. Really interesting beeswax element on the finish that you usually see in skin contact whites. Guessing.m it relates to the fermentation or aging vessel. — 5 years ago

The funkiness of the Qvevri fermentation gives it almost a sense of age to it. Fun, different wine. Enjoyed the whites too. — 8 years ago

Insanely weird and wonderful. Almost white port like notes. Sweet fruit and heavy viscous mouth feel . — 5 years ago
