Teleda, Qvevri Rkatsiteli, Kakheti, Georgia 2020

Light-handed take on the more extreme traditional skin-fermented Rkasiteli wines, showing aromatic restraint and a quiet poise. There's a sweet quality to the red apple, quince, watermelon and peach flavours which is offset by orange zest, savoury pickled walnuts, grilled apricots and spices (nutmeg, cardamom, wild fennel). Very subtle, soft tannins.
