This unique luxurious sparkling wine combines 8,000 years of Georgian winemaking and 400 years of French champagne history brought skilfully together by Georgian and French winemakers collaborating in the Shumi Winery in Georgia. The wine is made with 70% Chinebuli and 30% Kakhuri Mtsvane grape varieties. The grapes are handpicked and the destemmed pulps are fermented in Qvevri. After dosage the secondary fermentation is continued in bottles. The wine has a light green tint and is characterised with distinctive citrus and tropical fruit notes. It has a subtle acidity blended with a rich velvety prolonged finish.
Amazing wines made with love, passion and history. A tasteful and great experience. Georgian wines are some of the best and need more recognition because they are good and it's deserved.
Tried Georgian white wine from the relatively unknown "Baia's Wine".And what a blessing it was. The experience I encountered was joyful and second to none. Such a superb combination of palette, aroma and fragrance. It could easily compete with it's best French and Italian counterparts.No wonder, es popular legends had it, Georgian Wines were singled out by the almighty gods themselves. now it is a time for Georgian Wineries to conquer the world. In Vino Veritas.
Super educational evening @tasteofgeorgia.co.uk. So many new varieties to learn about amongst dry wine, sweet wine, Qvervi, oak - and over 8000 years of winemaking experience - brilliant!
