Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant it but best to open it half an hour before serving it. Tchotiashvili Winery is located in Talavi, Georgia, a land with ancient wine traditions. Since the 18th century, the Tchotiashvili family has handed down the art of making wine from generation to generation, and today the company operates making the most of the great potential of the territory, skilfully blending experience with modern cellar techniques. The Rkatsiteli Muskaturi grapes come from their own vineyards in Saniore, in the Kakheti region. The vines, planted 16 years ago, are located at about 450m above sea level on sandy soil with Cordier carbonate and do not require watering. Production is limited, and each bottle is numbered. Muskaturi is a Qvevri wine, produced with traditional Kachetian technology. Maceration lasts 7 months, on full skins with pips and stalks, without any additional substance. The result is a wine with a clear and luminous color with amber tones, which on the nose reveals the scent of autumnal flowers and dried fruit. In the mouth the wine has a marked taste with slightly accentuated acidity and powerful tannins. The finish is long and pleasant. Try it with spicy lamb or goat and smoked aubergines.
