Tiko Estate Mtsvane 2024

Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant it. Considered one of Georgia's most interesting emerging wineries, Tiko Estate is owned by the Chychynadze brothers who established it in 2017, giving it their mother's nickname as a tribute. The winery makes excellent Georgian wines in the Kakheti wine region, using indigenous vines which in this area benefit from iron-rich soils and a particularly favorable continental climate. Mtsvane is a rare white grape variety with an aromatic character, originally from Georgia. The grapes for this wine are harvested manually from vineyards located in the Kakheti region. After fermentation, which takes place in steel with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, the finished wine is aged for 6 months in steel to preserve its natural freshness and perfumes. Tiko Estate's Mtsvane is a fragrant and lively white wine with bright color and a broad and fresh aromatic profile. On the nose, the wine reveals notes of white flowers, pear and apricot. On the palate, it is elegant and fruity with a marked mineral vein and a pronounced acidity. It is lively and well structured with a delicious, lingering finish that recalls notes of white pepper. It is excellent with seafood, goat cheese salads and Greek vegetarian recipes.
