Tevza Chinuri Kartli Amber Wine - 2022 (750ml)
Importer's Notes:
Chinuri (chee-new-ree) is an endemic variety from Kartli region of Georgia. The name comes from a particular golden color, highlighted on the label. Chinuri is a thin skin variety with very clear transparent pulp and juice. Goga Tevzadze, the winemaker at Tevza, is on a mission to explore, preserve and promote indigenous varieties from Kartli. This particular year he kept the wines with the skins for 4-6 six weeks the result is still only a mild yellow to amber wine. This hazy, unfiltered and low SO2 is an amazing introduction to skin contact wines. A little crazy and certainly alive!
This wine offers very complex aromas of mint, green herbs, bay leaf, pickled plums, and crab apple on a richly textured, nearly oily frame.
