Description
In a nutshell:
Rich, refreshing and dry skin-contact orange wine from eastern Georgia.
The lowdown:
A wine made at the modern, experimental Winery 97 of Teliani Valley wines. Here they've mixed a modern facility and young winemakers with historical Georgian grape varieties and ancient winemaking techniques. Kakhuri No.8 is a blend of selective parcels of grapes Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Khikhvi and Kisi which are fermented on their skins for just over a week and then left for six months to mature on the skins as well. From the skins the wine extracts more flavour, tannin and a wonderful amber/orange colour. Punchy aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits lead onto a really fresh and dry medium-bodied palate with dried fruit and nutty flavours, spice, fresh tannins and a clean finish. Great food wine and an approachable yet satisfying example of a skin-contact white, aka orange wine.
The Producer:
Teliani Valley, established in the post-soviet 1990s by a group of passionate young winemakers, started in a converted car workshop. Despite these humble beginnings, their tremendous vineyards and winemaking skills have propelled them to become one of Georgia's largest producers, now bottling 5 million annually. While their roots are deeply entwined with traditional winemaking, they also champion modern innovation. And they attract and support some of Georgia's most exciting winemakers, providing them with the time, equipment, and top-quality fruit they need. The result? A range of really exciting, contemporary wines that showcase the best of both old and new winemaking traditions.
When to drink:
Great food wine, works especially well with fish, cheese, and pork dishes. Serve cool rather than straight-out-the-fridge cold.
Suitable for Vegans
