100% Tsolikouri, 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 4th of July 2020 without filtration or fining, and zero added sulphur.
