Tchotiashvili Kisi 2016

by Simon J Woolf

Simon J Woolf 17/05/2020   

Tchotiashvili Kisi 2016
Producer: Tchotiashvili
Wine name: Kisi
year: 2016
variety: Kisi
country: Georgia
region: Kakheti
style: Orange
ABV: 13

I loved this super precise, grippy Kisi from micro-winery Tchotiashvili in Kakheti (Eastern Georgia). It has really typical papaya & baked plum fruit, with serious structure, but perfectly ripe tannins. With four years of age, this is really hitting its stride – still youthful & rather monolithic, but glorious with it. It’s proof perfect that these wines often deserve a lot more bottle age than they tend to get.

Unfiltered, traditional qvevri winemaking at its finest.
