The Rkatsiteli vines are 25 years old growing on deep blue slate soil, which gives the wine a terroir character. Kisi is from a younger vineyard with limestone and a cooler microclimate.
Rkatsiteli is partially (60%) fermented (in whole bunches) and matured in Qvevri amphora. 10% of the Rkatsiteli is fermented in Qvevri and matured in 225L barrique. The Kisi is de-stemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks, filtered after alcoholic fermentation to prevent malolactic conversion.
Climate conditions are influenced by the nearby Caucasus Mountains, which allow a dry harvest with mild temperatures during the day but with rather cold nights, ideal for the avoidance of any type of rot.
