Sparkling white · 6 × 750 mL · First Ever Natural Sparkling Qvevri Wine · Old Vines · ElegantGentle bubbles tickle the nose as this wine releases aromas of apple and freesia.

About this wine
This is a one of a kind wine. Sourced from 50 year old Kakhuri Mtsvane vineyards this is the first champagne style sparkling qvevri wine. The base wine is fermented in qvevri but with NO SKIN CONTACT.
The wine then undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle method champenoise (traditional method). For two years the wine is aged on the lees and hand riddled in special racks. The wine is then disgorged and enclosed. Fresh, delightful, elegant and one of a kind, this wine is a winner on many levels.
No filtration or fining and tiny amounts of SO2.
