Deep orange. Orange peel. Tannic. Clear taste. 30 min later, stabilized. Rkatsiteli Quebri Nareklishvili & Son’s Winery Orange 21 @900/G, F Vivi, 240812 — 3 months ago
Doing a tasting at our wine club, The Nightshift, with the theme “Ancient Vines.” Starting off here to understand Georgian wines better. Hopefully a good beginning…

Aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, apricot, dried fruits, unfiltered honey.
I don’t know what the ratings are smoking. Maybe people are biased towards Eurocentric/American winemaking traditions we’re used to seeing in the marketplace.
With a winemaking tradition 8,000 years old that claims to be the birthplace of wine, this is as old world as you’re going to get.
Honeyed yams and sweet potato, dry like the tartness of an unripe peach, tea like qualities.
I think this is lovely (especially for a tasting). It’s going to stack up nicely with some fun cheeses. Excited. — 6 months ago

Smells of blackberries, tea and cedar. On the palate it is concentrated with fine tannins and a long finish. — 10 months ago
Fun wine, extended skin contact - looks like a Rose and tasted like one too: mix between tart red fruit & savory notes, some potpourri, fairly exotic. Palate was bit more austere, open canvas for variety of light fare. We had huge salad w/smoked salmon and it was fantastic. Balanced and dry finish, go find some Georgian wine! — 3 months ago
Super interesting with rich honey (not sweet) aromas and flavors, textured.
