Pronounced: “r-kat-see-TELL-ee” A Georgian grape variety that dates back to 3000 B.C. and the oldest known grape variety in the world. Rkatsiteli is an aromatic adventure. The nose is pronounced and layered: tropical fruit, ripe pear, stone fruit, citrus zest with a subtle but intriguing peppery edge that surprises many first-time drinkers. On the palate, lively acidity balances its touch of residual sugar, creating a wine that feels both vibrant and refreshing. If this is your first time with Rkatsiteli, think of it as a meeting point between Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc: aromatic, energetic, and food-friendly. Serve well chilled and allow it a moment in the glass to reveal its complexity.
