Rkatsiteli - 2019 - John Okruashvili
Okro's Wines
An intense nose with notes of almonds, beeswax, and damson plums... The palate is structured and aromatic, with a touch of acidity, and a long and tannic finish... A wine that will certainly unsettle those who aren’t already connoisseurs of orange wines – prepare yourself for a voyage!

100% Rkatsiteli from vines that have never been touched by chemicals, surrounded by lavender fields and planted at 400 meters altitude around the village of Nukriaani in the famous wine region of Kakheti in eastern Georgia. Vinification: whole bunches of grapes are placed in qvevris – large Georgian amphorae buried up to their necks in the winery – followed by a long maceration on the skins, then 32 months of maturation in qvevri. Bottled on the 25th of September 2022, without filtration or fining, and zero added sulphur.
