Tsitska - 2017 - John Okruashvili
Okro's Wines
Nose carried by notes of apple, cantaloupe, a touch of exotic fruits (pineapple among others). A perfect juice for the sunny season in short! Palate: surprising, no references... But a wine that remains accessible to those uninitiated to Georgian nectars, a good entry into the matter.

100% Tsitska, from old vines that have never been touched by chemicals, planted in the famous region of Imereti, in western Georgia, precisely in the very small village of Obcha. Harvested by hand, of course, and very low yields. Natural and unusual vinification for a white grape variety in Georgia: the bunches are directly pressed, no skin maceration. Here we have a "true" white wine, aged in qvevri. Bottled on the 6th of February 2019 without filtration or fining, and zero sulphur.
