In the glass
Aroma: dried fruit, coriander seed, white pepper, green apple
Palate: lemon tea, spice, nut
Floral and delicate on the nose, faintly nutty, with dried fruit, coriander and white pepper; the palate runs to lemon tea and spice with a slight tannic grip from the skins.
What it pairs with
-
Lobio, spiced kidney beans with coriander
Coriander in the pot mirrors the coriander-seed note the producer flags in the wine. -
Mushroom ketsi baked with sulguni
Skin-contact texture and earthy mushroom are natural partners. -
Tabaka, pressed fried chicken with garlic
The wine's acidity and tannin cut through crisp fried skin.
