Rkatsiteli, Andria Gvino - 2022

George Wolski, his father, and his grandfather have been making natural wine using traditional methods in the village of Khashmi since 1984. They are big believers in quality over quantity, only farming organically with no additives, filtration, or sulfites. Although this means they yield 3-4 times less crop in their vineyards than your typical grower, the result is incredible. George's 'Andria Gvino' brand is named after his eldest son. The Rkatsiteli is made 100% naturally in qvevri vessels with skin contact, creating a beautiful amber color and distinguished aromatics of stone fruit, vanilla, and almond. On the palate it is dry, textural, and full of dried apricot and tangerine. George Wolski recommends pairing with grilled meats or veggies, so keep this in mind for the first barbecue of the season!
