Vazisubani Estate, Rkatsiteli 2022

Why we love this bottle

Vazisubani lies in Kakheti, the great wine region in the east of Georgia, in the valley of the Alazani river. The estate was founded in 1891 by the nobleman Sulkhan Chavchavadze. The old manor house has been restored, with a wine cellar, a botanical garden and today a hotel. They grow only Georgian grapes. We love it because it takes you to one of the oldest wine countries in the world.

Rkatsiteli is the best known white grape of Georgia. In Georgia, wine traditionally ages in large clay jars buried underground, and at Vazisubani they still do that. Yellow apple, quince and a hint of walnut. Fresh and dry. Gaumarjos, as they say in Georgia.
