2020 Mtsvane

Mtsvane or Mtsvane Kakhuri is a grape variety used to make Georgian wines. It is used to make white wine. It was so named to refer to the yellowish-green colouring of the ripened berries.^[1] It is often blended with Rkatsiteli to create a fruity, aromatic wine.^[2] In the Georgian language the word mtsvane means new, young and green.

Story’s Mtsvane is made utilizing best of two worlds of winemaking, old world (Georgian) and modern (European). First grapes are fermented in Qvevri (Georgian clay pots) and than sealed for up to 6 months with skin. After wine is transferred to French oak barrels for prolonged aging. Best to be enjoyed at the room temperature or chilled.
