Pheasant's Tears Rkatsiteli Tibaani 2023
Grapes: 100% Rkatsiteli
Vineyard: Kakheti, Sighnaghi region, village of Tibaani. Sandstone and Quartz.
Making of: Gently destemmed and crushed into qvevri, then macerated on the skins for one week. Racked off the skins, then racked again in 6 months and aged in stainless steel for one year before bottling.
Personality: Here John wanted a light orange wine, something with nice grip and texture but easy drinkability. These grapes are picked on the earlier side to keep good acidity in a region that tends to lack an acidic backbone.
