Why You'll Love It
A great introduction to Georgia's ancient orange-wine tradition without overwhelming tannins. Ripe apricot and citrus peel sit alongside honeyed aromatics and wild herbs, with enough freshness to keep the textured palate lively. Excellent with hard cheese, roast vegetables or spiced chicken.
About The Producer
Bedoba, meaning 'day of luck', brings Georgia's ancient winemaking culture into a modern, approachable style. Winemakers Nugzar Ksovreli and Thierry Fontannaz work with native varieties in Kakheti, drawing on vineyards around Kvareli and Kindzmarauli beneath the Caucasus Mountains. The name and Saint Nino imagery refer to the area's long history of winemaking and its links to the Konchosvili family, whose cellars date back to 1737. Qvevri clay vessels sit alongside stainless steel and careful modern handling, giving the wines both distinctive character and excellent balance.
Winemaking Information
The 2023 blend is 70% Rkatsiteli and 30% Kisi, harvested separately in Kakheti. Whole-bunch Rkatsiteli ferments spontaneously on skins in traditional buried qvevri, remaining in contact with skins until the following March before further maturation; around 10% moves to new oak. Kisi ferments separately at controlled temperatures in stainless steel and ages on fine lees. The components are blended before bottling. The finished wine has approximately 2 g/L residual sugar.
