This 8 year old MK Rhapsodia starts with intense aromas of rose and dry fruits, notes of honey, wax, herbs, plums and peaches and a persistent length. Has a cheesy, waxy edge and some tannins. From qvevri aging it has a beautiful amber color, a rich and full body. Luscious flavors of fig, tobacco and spices persist to a smooth finish.
 
The wine is fermented and aged at least 12 months in Qvevri clay vessels, with skin-contact 6 months. Qvevris are buried in the ground. This ancient technique of maceration at a constant underground temperature produces smooth flavor balance between tannins, antioxidants, polyphenols and acidity in wine. We keep intervention to the minimum. This wine is great for aging.
 
Discover “Rkatsiteli”, this uniquely delicious white grape varietal fermented in Qvevri with skin-contact style, with fruitiness of white wine but with an intensity of red wine. These wines are also called “orange” or “amber” wines because of their color profile. Indulge your curiosity for tastes, smoothness, transcendent aromas, history and ancient wine culture.
 
The wine is crafted by master winemaker, Michael Kumsiashvili, winner of multiple wine awards. This exceptional wine is from the country of Georgia, where scientists found earliest evidence that wine was made there 8,000 years ago.
