DETAILS:
Rkatsiteli grape variety is ideal for amber wine aged on stem and skin, where stems play major role. As the Rkatsiteli stem ripens well. compared with other Georgian and international varieties, a completely different wine is made from it. Our Rkatsiteli is from Akhmeta, grown in the areas adjacent to mountains and forests. This is why this wine is so refined and has strong aroma
WINE MAKING PROCESS:
We pick the selected grapes at 22-25% of sugariness and 6-65 titratable acidity. We squeeze the grapes and move them into the qvevri, with stems. We add the pure culture yeast and knead 3 times every 24 hours as it is fermented. After the fermentation is complete, we leave the wine on skin before February-March

Dugladze Rkatsiteli Qvevri
Georgia is rightly called “The cradle of wine”, reaffirmed by UNESCO in December 2013, when the oldest Georgian method of wine making in Qvevri was inscribed in the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of the humanity.
Georgia boasts more than 500 varieties of indigenous grapes, nearly one-sixth of the world’s grape varieties, including endangered varieties found nowhere else on Earth.
We are happy that we can offer fine Georgian wine in the UK from Dugladze, one of the best producers available on the market.
