Made from the native Georgian variety Khikhvi of which there was only one single hectare recorded in the country in 2004. The number of vines has since grown, but it is still considered a rarity and somewhat of an 'unsung hero' in Georgia.
Although Khikhvi can be used to make practically every Georgian wine style, here we are in familiar classical white wine territory, with a slow cool ferment in stainless steel.
Teliani Valley Winery 97 Khikhvi is pale straw in colour with aromas of melon, peach and citrus. Similar flavours follow on the palate which is ripe and textural and very proper.
Excellent with mildly spiced middle eastern food, as well as grilled fish or white meats.
