Reviews and Ratings

This is an interesting and unusual white; not surprising given that it has been produced in accordance with an ancient tradition. Qvevri are amphora-like clay vessels that are lined with beeswax and planted in the earth while the wine ferments. How old-school-cool is that? Earthy with spice and dried peach notes. Crisp acidity and lovely spice notes accented by redcurrant preserve. Those who know wines made in this style, and the Rkatsiteli grape in particular, love them. This offers a highly rewarding opportunity for the adventurous wine consumer as well. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Aug. 2012

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
