Tsitska - 2018 - John Okruashvili
Okro's Wines
Nose carried by notes of apple, cantaloupe, a touch of exotic fruits (pineapple among others). A perfect juice for the sunny season in short! Palate: thin and abundant bubbles, a good entry into the matter of Georgian nectars.

100% Tsitska, from old vines that have never been touched by chemicals, planted in the region of Imereti, in western Georgia. Harvested by hand, of course, and very low yields. Natural and unusual vinification for a white grape variety in Georgia: the bunches are directly pressed, no skin maceration, and the fermentation in qvevris was never completed so the juice was bottled on the 19th of June 2020 with residual sugars in order to create the effervescence in bottle. Not disgorged, unfined, unfiltered, zero added sulphur.
