Information
Rkatsiteli, the most widely spread variety in Georgia, is perfect for making both white dry, and amber qvevri wines. Our classic Rkatsiteli perfectly portrays the potential of the grape variety.
Vinification
We pick the selected grapes at 18-22% of sugariness and 7.5-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing, juice is moved to the cleansing reservoir and kept there for 15-18 hours. Then, the clear juice is removed from the sediment and moved into fermentation reservoirs. We add the pure culture yeast. The fermentation proceeds at a low temperature of 12-15°Cdegrees.
