Description

"What an interesting wine that this is. It has a wonderful amber glow to it with an equal intensity of aromatics. Cooked pears, dried apple slices, with hints of rosemary and candied honeysuckle. As it opens up, a really beautiful orange and peach marmalade-like flavour comes out on both the nose and palate. Still tannic grip with less overt acidity as the Rkatsiteli yet it still holds it together well. Drinking well now and will no doubt go on living for about another 5 years."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Pheasant's Tears

Pheasant’s Tears is a very new winery which was only set up in 2006. Yet, it has already come to be known as one of the golden players in the country and one of the leading ‘natural’ wine producers. John Wurdeman is the co-founder and winemaker of Pheasant’s Tears and came to Georgia through a CD of Georgian music. The focus of Pheasant’s Tears is on rare varietals and preserving the unique expressions of terroir to be found in Kakheti. All grapes are autocthonous to Georgia, such as Tavkvervi, Shakapito, Tsolikouri, Rkatsiteli, and they even make a ‘dream blend’ from 400 different varieties!

 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Kisi

Kisi is a white grape varietal from Georgia. It is one of the many native grapes to the country. Be it white wines or orange wines, Kisi really comes alive with its treefruit flavours. The best Kisi wines will have a range of floral and herbal notes to them that help to lift them and make them stand out.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Georgia

Georgia is the country where winemaking and viticulture comes from - until proven otherwise. It is where the oldest grape vines and winemaking equipment have been found - some of which that dates back to 6,000BC. It is home to many refreshing whites and red, as well as the home of many top orange wines.
