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
Orange wine from Georgia - an absolute treat. Nectarines and lemon zest. — 9 years ago
Super interesting with rich honey (not sweet) aromas and flavors, textured.

ORGO cuvée Kisi, Mtsvane, Rkatsiteli. Produced by: Teleda Ltd. Kisiskhevi, Telavi, Georgia. Купаж Киси, Мцване, Ркацители. С большим трудом ввезено. В Москве не сыскать. Изготовлено по европейской технологии. Для меня пахнет моим любимым, очень типичным именно Киси: цитрусовые, груша, белые цветы, нектарин, цедра апельсина, чуть аниса, специи. Умеренный фруктовый вкус с мягкой кислотностью, минерально. Люблю и с большой нежностью всегда вспоминаю Кахетию, Алазанскую долину и г-на Дакишвили 🧡 — 4 years ago
