This is a bit leaner than its more famous counterpart, Rkatsiteli. Goruli (Green) Mtstvane tends to be a bit more grassy and citrus driven. When aged on its skins, it becomes a true amber wine, but one with notes of dried herbs and quince. It is still packing the punch of tannins but with a bouquet that is more fresh and green like its name tends to lead on.

Production Notes

Pressed, then fermented in qvevri. This white grape is fermented and aged on its skins and stems, the traditional Georgian way. I wish I could say more but they are a bit guarded with their wine making style. Just a part of the monastic lifestyle.... Grown on the terraced slopes of the Kartli hillside looking up at the monastery. The soil is mostly alluvial with pockets of clay. The grapes are hand harvested by the monastic team.

Fun Facts

The Goruli Mtsvane variety ripens late in the season and produces spirited white wines characterized by aromas of lime, wildflowers, and spring honey. Goruli Mtsvane is frequently mixed with Chinuri grapes to yield a sparkling wine with distinctive flavor. Goruli Mtsvane/Chinuri blends are frequently left to ferment with Tavkveri grapes to produce Khidistauri red wine, which is known for its delicate flavor. Here in Kartli, the wines are definitely more defined as lighter and greener than in the hotter climate of Kakheti.
