Vazisubani Estate – Kakhuri Mtsvane Dry Amber 2021
Kakheti – Georgia 🇬🇪

Overview
Made from 100% Kakhuri Mtsvane, this dry amber wine honors Kakheti’s traditional qvevri methods — months of skin contact to build texture, color, and complexity. (Educational note: “Mtsvane” in Georgian means “new” or “green,” often referencing the grape’s fresh, aromatic character.)

Aromas & Flavors
Apricot, dried citrus peel, and quince lead, layered with wild herbs, honey, and subtle tea notes. Secondary touches of almond skin and soft spice bring depth.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, with firm tannic grip from skin contact. Earthy and textured, yet buoyed by refreshing acidity. The finish is long, dry, and slightly savory.

Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with walnut-based Georgian dishes, lamb kebabs, or grilled eggplant. Also works wonderfully with Middle Eastern mezze or aged goat cheese.

Verdict
A bold and authentic Kakhetian amber wine — grippy, aromatic, and full of character. The 2021 vintage leans more matured than a fresh 2023 would, but still retains vibrancy and expression. 🍷

Did You Know?
Vazisubani lists this wine as 100% Kakhuri Mtsvane on their official site. 

Hidden Gem 💎
Kakhuri Mtsvane remains one of Georgia’s more obscure indigenous grapes. This bottling is a rare opportunity to taste qvevri amber wine from that varietal — a true find.
