TSINANDALI

Description

White Dry
Kakheti Region, Georgia

The history of this wine dates back to the mid-19th century, when the first Georgian wine made according to classical European winemaking methods was created. Until then, Georgian wines had traditionally been produced and aged in qvevri — clay vessels buried underground.

Alexander Chavchavadze, the owner of the Tsinandali estate, was inspired by the refined style of French wines during his travels in France and decided to introduce European winemaking traditions to Georgia.

He invited five leading French winemakers to Georgia, who worked alongside local specialists to select the most suitable soils and grape varieties.

This collaboration gave rise to the legendary Tsinandali wine, made primarily from Rkatsiteli with the addition of Kakhuri Mtsvane. Light-bodied and aromatic, it offers notes of tropical and ripe stone fruits. The bouquet reveals aromas of pear, green apple, peach and wildflowers. The palate is refined and fresh, with a pleasant, lingering finish.

Recommended chilled as an aperitif or paired with fresh salads and mild cheeses.
