Dano’s winery Rkatsiteli 2018
€14.45
The first commercial vintage of this winemaker and immediately a great success with this beautiful, eccentric wine. Even in Georgia it is a privilege to get your hands on one of the bottles from this winemaker: only 1200 bottles were bottled and 300 of them were imported by us. And we feel privileged to offer these wines at an attractive price, so be on time!

A little over a year ago, we came into contact with a Georgian winemaker who was producing wine for the first time. He asked us if we would like to come and taste and import his wine. Since he was a very friendly man and we are always open to tasting wines, we met him in the village where he makes his wine: Khornabuji.
Arriving there in a typical idyllic Georgian village and house, he showed us his qvevris, which had been in the family for decades. Then he showed us the basement under the house where brand new stainless steel tanks imported from Italy were gleaming. It was clear that he may have been making wine on a small scale, but very seriously.
And that he was serious about winemaking, we could taste while enjoying a delicious Georgian meal with his wine on the balcony overlooking the Caucasus on one side and the old fortress of Khornabuji on the other. We were immediately sold – not only because the beautiful label featured a sketch of Khornabuji’s fortress (by his wife Nona), but also because of this enchanting wine. And the grapes are also grown without the use of herbicides and fertilizers – a pure, natural wine as it should be.
With a clear aroma of cloves and orange peel on the nose, a delicious, elegant wine on the palate with distinct flavors of orange, peach, lemon, and green tea.
On Vivino, the wine scores an impressive 4.4 out of 5, which is extremely high, and the description states that you are lucky enough to get a bottle in Georgia.
The wine pairs well with goat cheese (salad), poultry, or sushi.
