About this wine
Kisi (Key-see) is a rare variety grown primarily in the Akhmeta district of Kakheti. Kisi prefers higher elevations and sloped vineyards both of which help preserve its natural aromatics. Kisi is the passion of the Dakishvili family, starting from a vineyard planted by Gogi's grandfather in the 1930's.
The wine is fermented and aged in qvevri for six months, using skin contact for the entire period of the aging. Small amounts of sulfites are added after malolactic fermentation has been completed, so that final levels are minimal.
About Orgo
Orgo is Gogi Dakishvili's own estate in Kiskhevi, outside Telavi in the heart of Kakheti, where he has spent thirty years reviving Georgia's qvevri tradition. The fruit comes entirely from vines over fifty years old — rare, since the Soviet era cleared out most of Georgia's old plantings. Amber Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane and Kisi alongside a classic Saperavi.
