In the glass
Aroma: dried apricot, hazelnut, white flowers
Palate: quince, spice, citrus peel
Kisi is the rarer, finer-boned cousin of Rkatsiteli. Qvevri-fermented then oak-matured, it lands somewhere between dried apricot and toasted hazelnut.
What it pairs with
-
Chakhokhbili, chicken stewed with tomato and coriander
Herbal lift in the stew finds the wine's floral top notes; the tannin handles the braise. -
Grilled trout with walnut sauce
Oak maturation gives the weight a freshwater fish in a rich sauce needs. -
Aged guda cheese
Sheep's-milk salt sharpens Kisi's stone-fruit core.
