presaged by a licorice aroma

distinguishing it as the go-to mixing spirit for bartenders around the world

and an undercurrent of freshly baked rye bread

anchored with plenty of acid into a lingering finish

Chateau Mukhrani Rkastieli - 2019 (750ml) Colombard presaged by a licorice aromaMade at one of the oldest wineries in the modern era, Chateau Mukhrani, this is a blend of Rkatsiteli 70% and Goruli mtsvane 30%. This shows superb texture with the barest hint of vanilla from a brief sojourn through barrel after fermentation and aging in classic eartheware qvevri. Fine and elegant attack on sweet ripe fruits: stone fruit, apricot, peach, pear lemon blended with floral and herbal notes, slight spicy honey. In harmony with each other.
