| Winery | The grapes are grown in the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia, where the climate is moderately humid, with hot summers and cold winters. The vineyard is at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level, where the vines are trained according to the Vertical Shoot Position (VSP) method and are Double Guyot pruned. The soils are clay and loamy, which provide good water retention properties to sustain the vines during the hot summers. The vineyard is planted with covered grass between the vines to reduce weeds; the soil is mulched and treated with organic mineral fertilizers. Rkatsiteli (pronounced ree-ka-tzi-TIL-li) is an ancient, pale-skinned, native grape variety. It flourishes in this environment and can endure the cold winters with its strong resistance to cold weather. Renowned for its natural, characteristic high acidity, it produces balanced wines even in hot summers. |
