On the nose; ice tea, citrus peel, roasted blood orange, touch of oxidation, decayed roses and medium intensity volcanic soils. The color is orange and you definitely pick up the clay pot influence. The body is lean to medium. ice tea, citrus peel, roasted blood orange, orange peel, a touch of oxidation, decayed roses, delicate minerality, chalkiness, high round acidity, soft warm spices, savory notes with a really nice round finish. Producer notes; the winery is high up in the hills of the Asureti Valle...4200 feet above sea level. Asureti is an ancient village in the foothills of Georgia, about 30 minutes away from Tbilisi. Some of their wines are made with no skin contact and others with skin and stem contact for as long as 7 months. They also farm organically. Photos of; their vineyards, Beka Gotsadze and the qvevri clay fermentation pots. Pairings; sautéed fish to chicken mole tamales and take out Chinese. — 8 years ago

Oldest winemaking place in the world, 8,000 years ago. Historically, Georgia has so many unique barrels because of their ancient certain practices. The Rkatsiteli (AR-kata-telli) grape in Middle Eastern Kakheti is fermented in Qvevri barrels. 12.5% some skin-contact and some oxidation. A bit hot and zesty as of right now, but this wine transforms. — 9 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

(17.5/20) Насыщенный, яркий аромат черного чая, сушеных плодов ананаса и манго, мёда, шиповника с нотами карамели и табака. Сухое, тельное, с умеренной кислотностью, ощутимыми приятными, бархатистыми танинами, весьма насыщенное во вкусе. Долгое послевкусие. Красивое, нетипичное для Грузии по уровню качества вино из квеври. — 9 years ago

Серия элитных вин Schuchmann. Энолог - Георгий Дакишвили. Много ли вы знаете вин, где имя автора указывают прямо на бутылке? Абсолютно отличающееся от привычных европейских белых. Изготовлено согласно традиционной кахетинской технологии - 6 месяцев ферментации в квеври (в контакте с мезгой). Яркое, полнотелое, запоминающееся: мёд, выраженный цветочный аромат, персик, спелый абрикос. #квеври #qvevri #georgiaonmymind — 9 years ago
