Mtsvane 2021 (Winiveria)

Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant it. The Winiveria winery, opened in 2005, is part of a large complex of Chateau Mere, located near Telavi, in the village of Vardisubani, an hour's drive from Tbilisi. The castle was built in 2011 aby Giorgi Piradashvili. The complex, in addition to the cellars, includes a hotel, restaurant, bar, and congress hall. Winiveria wines are produced according to two technologies: the modern European one and the ancient Kakhetian one (using underground qvevri jugs). The grapes for vinification are harvested in specially selected vineyards, where the age of the vines is not less than 25 years. Winiveria Mtsvane is an elegant white wine made from Georgian grapes of the same name harvested by hand at the peak of maturity. The vinification takes place according to European methods. The fruits are de-stemmed and cooled to 4-6 ° C, then pressed by means of a pneumatic press. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature between 13 and 15 ° C. Subsequently, the wine is removed from the sedimentation and left to further mature. In the glass, the wine shows a golden straw color and a captivating perfume with refreshing notes of peach, lemon, white flowers, and pear. In the mouth, it is soft and clean with fruity-floral nuances and subtle acidity. It goes really well with fish and vegetarian dishes.
