About this wine
Wine born in clay: buried underground, our qvevri clay jars hold a steady temperature that lets the wine ferment slowly and naturally. Grown in clay-rich soil, fermented and aged in this ancient clay vessel, our wines are born in clay: a prehistoric discovery with an elegant touch.
About Akalo
Akalo is made at Ruispiri Estate in the village of Ruispiri, in Kakheti. Its idea is 'wine born in clay': grapes grown in clay-rich soil, then fermented slowly and aged in qvevri, the buried clay jars at the heart of Georgia's ancient winemaking tradition. The Amber, a dry blend of Kisi and Mtsvane, shows dried peach, floral and earthy notes.
