Akhoebi Rkatsiteli 2015

В аромате виски, легкий дымок, нагретый пластик, во вкусе абрикосы, желтая грушевая шкурка, сухая апельсиновая цедра, мангольд, кремень. Напряженная, выпрямляющая осанку кислотность, ласкающие нёбо жевкие танины, тёплый объём. Становится гармоничнее с нагреванием и аэрацией. Структурно, ярко, без парфюмированности и компотной вялости, с хорошим тонусом и собственным характером. — 6 years ago

Rkatsiteli 2013

Lightly fruity and steely nose, smooth and subtle palate, medium high acid. I want this to be dirty orange wine, but it's clean stainless tank white. Delicious nonetheless and would pair easily and broadly. — 9 years ago

Peach Rkatsiteli 2013

I'm not typically a sweet wine sinker but this peach/white blend is fantastic! Lightly sweet with lush flavors of fresh peaches off their own orchards. — 9 years ago

Reserve Qvevri Rkatsiteli 2014

(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. — 8 years ago

Там любопытно, еще и бочковая выдержка. Пробовал на дегустации у @Denis Yurchenko , очень понравилось.

Special Selection Rkaciteli 2013

Never heard of and can't pronounce the variety (Rkaciteli), and couldn't identify Macedonia on a map, so obviously had to try it. Really good! Distinct lemon-lime nose and flavors, almost like a bone-dry Sprite, lots of refreshing acid, very light and clean on the finish. One-dimensional in a good way, just fresh-squeezed citrus and not much else. The simple pure citrus character meant that it worked with lots of different food flavors, from salad to meat. Don't think we'll grow Rkaciteli in Napa, but it opened my eyes to the merit of a simple but very pure wine with a meal, like a cocktail ingredient rather than a complete ensemble. — 8 years ago

@Steve Matthiasson used to be one of the most planted white varieties in the world until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
