The Chinuri grape is a special Georgian variety, and one of my favourites. This 2018 vintage shows luscious honeyed characteristics with powerful stone fruit and minerality. This Chinuri was fermented and aged in Qvevri, with skin-contact for just over a month. Bottled the following April and laid to rest for 6 years in the cellar. It has a beautiful golden colour with aromas of quince and apricot. The time spent on its skins has aided in the beautiful ageing of this wine, with spiced honey, balanced acidity and a beautifully rounded texture. Powerful and expressive.
