2025 / Rose / Semi-Dry

This dry wine is crafted from the Tsolikauri grape variety, the pride of Western Georgian viticulture, harvested in the Imereti region. Produced at the Zurab Gvaladze family cellar using the traditional Qvevri method, this expression gains added depth and structure over the variety's naturally noble character. The 2022 vintage stands out for its well-rounded personality and the signature freshness of the Imeretian terroir. The wine displays an impressive golden hue in the glass, a testament to its maturation in clay vessels. The bouquet is rich with aromas of ripe white orchard fruits, giving the wine an inviting allure. On the palate, it is full-bodied, robust, and perfectly harmonious; the 12.5% alcohol and the characteristic Qvevri smoothness create a balanced profile with a persistent finish. This is an authentic Imeretian Qvevri wine where strength and delicacy meet in perfect harmony. This Tsolikauri pairs excellently with traditional Imeretian cuisine, poultry (especially walnut-based dishes), grilled fish, and aged cheeses.
