Rkatsiteli Grand Cru 'Tsarapi' in Anfora Our Wine 2011

A red wine disguised as white. Rkatsiteli This is a really extreme wine, produced in Georgia, in the heart of Kakheti. The nose, shows a range of perfumes, eyes closed, would be more amenable to a red wine: ripe fruit, anise, licorice, important background ethereal and tertiary. The mouth is confirmed seductive and unpredictable, with strong tannins and a noticeable minerality. Persistence remarkable. The production philosophy of this charming Georgian reality is decidedly oriented biodynamic: natural yeasts, no chemicals used, on time and the peculiarities of nature. The maceration takes place in Jars, where the wine remains at least six months in contact with the skins and stalks. This methodology explains the most of the amber color of the wine and the fascinating originality of his fragrances. This wine is unfiltered, do not worry if you find some residue in the bottle: are natural proteins and can pass the wine in decanter if you prefer to make the wine more transparent. The Rkatsiteli is a vine with great potential, says emotions other than those to which we are accustomed. We recommend it to anyone who wants to try new sensations, those of a white wine that resembles a red and comes from far away. From the heart of Georgia.
