Teliani Glekhuri Kisi Qvevri

Teliani Glekhuri Kisi Qvevri is a profound expression of ancient Georgian winemaking, crafted exclusively from the indigenous Kisi grape. This unique amber wine is fermented and aged in traditional underground clay vessels known as Qvevri, following a method dating back 8,000 years. The extended contact with the grape skins in the Qvevri imparts the wine's characteristic deep amber hue, rich tannins, and complex texture. The profile is highly aromatic, offering intriguing notes of dried apricot, orange marmalade, toasted nuts, and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and textured, with firm but refined tannins and a long, savory finish. This wine serves as an exceptional bridge between white and red wine categories, making it an ideal pairing for rich, complex dishes, particularly those featuring robust spices or smoked meats. It is a true taste of Georgia’s winemaking heritage.
