Their mission was simple: keep the ancient qvevri traditions alive and rescue the rare indigenous varieties that were quietly disappearing. Vardisperi — \"like a rose\" — is a pink-skinned mutation of Rkatsiteli that Pheasant's Tears helped bring back from the edge. Grown on sandstone and quartz soils near Tibaani at 400 metres, hand-harvested, 3 weeks of skin maceration in buried qvevri, then 6 months in qvevri and 3 months in stainless steel. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, zero sulphur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e cranberry, rose petal, white cherry, dried herbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e taut, fresh red fruit, rosehip, hibiscus, subtle spice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e pale garnet, finely grained tannins, lively acidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e long, structured, and gently wild\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eServe lightly chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/georgia\" title=\"Georgian Wines\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeorgia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/ Kakheti\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Shop Orange Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/orange\"\u003eOrange\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rkatsiteli\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 75cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear \u003c\/strong\u003e2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore More\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/orange\" title=\"Orange Wine\"\u003eOrange\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/georgia\" title=\"Georgia Wines\"\u003eGeorgia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pheasant's Tears","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49618808406364,"sku":"CCENWR5961W","price":24.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/0336\/4287\/files\/DSCF4852.jpg?v=1730232698","url":"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/en-sk\/products\/rkatsiteli-vardisperi","provider":"Chenin Chenin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
