GRAPE: 100% RKATSITELI
SKIN CONTACT: 1 MONTH
REGION: KAKHETI, GEORGIA
Producer: Levani, the youngest in his winemaking family, is known for taking a different approach to making Rkatsiteli. The winery is located near the family ranch at a high elevation in the Kakhetian mountains — hence the name Rancho. Although Georgia’s wine regions are spread across the country, the eastern region of Kakheti is where you’ll find most of its vineyards and wineries. The area’s historical significance, cultural richness and natural beauty make it a must–visit for any traveller, but especially those with a penchant for wine.
Vinification Method: Fermented in stainless steel tanks, with short maceration and hand-harvested grapes. Only 2100 bottles produced. Unfiltered, unfined, and with no added SO2.
Tasting notes: medium bodied, layers of tea, dried apricot, yellow apple, red apple
Mix & match 3, 6, or 12 bottles!
