About this wine
This white or "Amber" wine is made from 100% Rkatsiteli grapes. For those of you who are not accustomed to white wines that are made with skin contact, Orgo Rkatsiteli is your best chance to start enjoying this style of wines.
While rich in flavors, this is still a very friendly wine with light tannins. The wine is fermented and then aged in Qvevri for approximately 6 months, using skin contact for the entire period of the Qvevri aging.
The darker color is determined by the longer skin contact, by the age of the vine trees, and by the terroir.
About Orgo

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.
