Dano’s winery Rkatsiteli Qvevri

General information

Dano’s Winery Rkatsiteli Qvevri is a traditional Georgian amber wine from Kakheti, made from 100% Rkatsiteli. This white grape is one of the oldest varieties in the world and forms the foundation of Georgian viticulture.

The wine is produced according to the classic qvevri method: spontaneous fermentation and months-long aging in buried clay pots, with full skin and seed contact. Dano’s Winery works with minimal intervention, without filtering or additives. The result is a powerful, structured wine with deep complexity.
