In the glass
Aroma: dried apricot, walnut, orange peel
Palate: quince, black tea, bitter almond
Kakheti's benchmark amber grape worked the traditional way: skin contact gives tannin and a tea-leaf grip behind dried stone fruit and nut.
What it pairs with
-
Khinkali with spiced pork and beef
Skin-contact tannin cuts the broth's fat while the wine's nuttiness echoes the black pepper. -
Badrijani nigvzit, aubergine rolls with walnut paste
Walnut on the plate and walnut in the glass is the classic Kakhetian pairing logic. -
Roast chicken with tkemali plum sauce
The wine's acidity matches the sour plum and its structure stands up to the roast skin.
