Rosemary…
AGING: Aged in Slavonian oak botti for one year followed by one year in concrete
and the wine was made half in clay and half in amphora
The grapes are destemmed with berries kept whole and gently pressed without breaking the skins
An elegant yet quite powerful wine with distinct personality
2024 Pheasant's Tears Rkatsiteli Mtsvane Tibaani, Kakheti, Georgia Tuscany Rosemary…This is probably the darling of the 2024s for me, says John. The wine develops a tiny amount of flor, so it has that slight oxidative note which makes it food friendly, easy going and approachable. And for such a young wine, its got quite a long, developed, almost mature palate. Grapes: 50% Rkatsiteli, 50% Mtsvane Vineyard: Tibaani, Kakheti; sandstone and quartz soil. This is a very dry, hot area technically a semi desert. Hot throughout the days,
