TSINANDALI

Description

White Dry
From the Kakheti region, Georgia

Its history dates back to the mid-19th century, and it was the first Georgian wine produced using classical European winemaking techniques. Until then, all wine in Georgia had been traditionally made in qvevri — clay vessels buried underground.
Alexander Chavchavadze, owner of the royal estate in Tsinandali, traveled to France and, after observing the differences between French and Georgian winemaking, was inspired to craft Georgian wine in the European style.
He invited five of the finest French winemakers to Georgia and, together with local specialists, selected the most suitable soils and grape varieties for this endeavor.
Thus, Tsinandali was born — a wine made predominantly from Rkatsiteli blended with Kakhuri Mtsvane.
Tsinandali is characterized by a light body and vibrant tropical fruit aromas, harmoniously intertwined with ripe stone fruit notes. Distinct nuances of pear, apple, peach, and wildflowers emerge beautifully on the nose. The palate is elegant, with a pleasant, lingering finish.
Enjoy it chilled as an aperitif, or pair it with fresh salads and a variety of cheeses.
