Qvevri White QW Georgia 0.75L

Georgia is considered one of the oldest wine regions in the world — and Château Mukhrani from Kartli embodies this heritage with the Qvevri White QW in a very direct way. The wine is created using the Qvevri method: grapes of indigenous varieties ferment and mature in clay amphorae buried in the ground, which have been in use in the South Caucasus for at least 8,000 years.

The result is a dry white wine with a character that classic cellar technology cannot produce. The skin contact time in the Qvevri gives the wine structure, depth, and a golden to amber color. On the nose, dried apricot, quince, and walnut appear, underscored by earthy, slightly tannin-influenced tones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with lively acidity and a long, slightly tart finish — typical for oxidative, natural aging in the amphora.

Château Mukhrani has a turbulent history: the winery near Mtskheta was founded in the 19th century by Prince Ivane Mukhranbatoni and was extensively restored after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today, it combines Georgian wine culture with modern quality standards. Serve the Qvevri White at 12–14 °C — with grilled lamb with herbs, sheep's cheese, or Caucasian mezze platters.
