Casreli Kisi

On a wine tour in Georgia, the editors of Wijnpers Magazine described the Kisi as one of the most promising white wine grapes in the country. They might well have a point there. Because the Kisi produces wines with lots of structure and lively acidity. This orange natural wine from Casreli is remarkably fruity, despite six months of maturing with skins and seeds in a qvevri. Typical Kisi.

The fruit reminds us of an ice tea with peach, with a pinch of white pepper. You smell it, and you taste it too, along with the bitters of walnuts, apricot marmalade, yellow plums and drying tannin in the aftertaste. Chill such a wine slightly and always eat something with it because that is what it is intended for.
