2023 Mtsvane, Vachnadziani Winery

The Kakheti Green Gold

This is Georgian white wine with freshness, fragrance and a clean mountain-bright feel. Made from Mtsvane grown in Kakheti, it opens with green apple, pear, citrus and candied peel, before peach, apricot, fresh herbs and a gentle mineral note begin to appear. It is crisp, aromatic and beautifully direct, with that lovely Georgian balance of ancient grape and modern clarity.

The palate is dry, lively and refreshing, with lemon, apple, pear and stone fruit carried by bright acidity and a clean, lightly bitter citrus finish. There is enough perfume to make it distinctive, but the overall mood is precise, zesty and wonderfully easy to pour.

For when you want a white wine with freshness, discovery and a proper Kakheti accent.
Pairs with grilled fish, prawns, chicken salads, khachapuri, soft cheeses, mezze, lemony vegetables, or lightly spiced Asian dishes.
If this wine were… a colour, it would be green-gold morning light over Kakheti, cool at the edges and bright with citrus.
