Do Re Mi - Mtsvane 2020

Elegant, light and fresh with lovely delicate tannins from the comparatively short 3-day maceration (as opposed to the months of skin contact Mtsvane usually sees). It's a very pretty amber colour, with a nose of white florals, ripe yellow and stone fruits, honey and dried herbs. Intense fruit on the palate harmonised by a saline finish. Ancient Georgian winemaking meets organic wine lovers.

Traditionally aged and fermented on skins in large buried Kvevris (amphora).
