Chona’s Marani – Rkatsiteli 2019

by Simon J Woolf

Simon J Woolf 02/10/2020   

Chona’s Marani - Rkatsiteli 2019
Producer: Chona’s Marani
Wine name: Rkatsiteli
year: 2019
variety: Rkatsiteli
country: Georgia
region: Kakheti
style: Orange
ABV: 14.5
event: Ghvino tasting

Pleasingly hazy, expressive on the nose and the palate. This has that compacted, pungent feel of dried herbs and baked fruits that is so inviting with Qvevri fermented amber wines. Big on texture and fairly low on acid, the wine carries itself well, finishing on some more vegetal tones. The fruit suggests umeboshi plum with hints of jasmine and woodsmoke. Complex, nuanced and fascinating, with layers of interesting flavour and aroma.
