Rkatsiteli-Mtsvane Amber 2024

Dilao is a Georgian winery known for traditional winemaking methods. This amber wine is produced in Georgia, a country with a rich viticultural heritage, particularly in the Kakheti region.

This wine is made from a blend of two indigenous Georgian grape varieties:

• Rkatsiteli: A white grape variety known for its crisp acidity and aromatic profile.
• Mtsvane: Another white grape variety, often contributing floral and fruity notes.

The RKATSITELI-MTSVANE AMBER is produced using traditional Georgian amber wine techniques, which involve extended skin contact fermentation of white grapes. This process imparts the characteristic amber color and complex tannic structure. The wine is typically fermented and aged in qvevri (large clay vessels buried underground), preserving natural flavors and enhancing texture.

This amber wine displays a deep golden to amber hue with a complex aromatic profile. Expect notes of dried apricot, honey, orange peel, and subtle spice. On the palate, it offers a rich texture with balanced acidity and gentle tannins, delivering flavors of ripe stone fruits, nuts, and a lingering finish.

RKATSITELI-MTSVANE AMBER pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:

• Grilled or roasted poultry and pork
• Spiced vegetable dishes and root vegetables
• Hard cheeses such as aged cheddar or gouda
• Traditional Georgian cuisine, including khachapuri and pkhali
• Seafood dishes with rich sauces
