Not one for the purists, as this qvevri-fermented Mtsvane had a passage in oak barrels after six months with its skins. Yet it’s a very successful wine, managing to retain the variety’s aromatic character and showing ripe, bright fruit on the palate. Seven years of age is about right for this extremely tannic variety, which now shows a soft, silky texture and an extremely long, creamy finish.
