Kakhuri Mtsvane - Jobava Winery

In the glass, the Kakhuri Mtsvane - Jobava Winery shines in an intense, bright golden hue with fine greenish reflections. The color promises freshness and excitement at first glance. On the nose, a multilayered bouquet unfolds, featuring ripe apple, a delicate brioche note, floral hints of lily, and a distinctive, slightly herbaceous boxwood nuance.

On the palate, the wine is dry and clearly defined. The texture is crisp and linear, supported by an invigorating acidity.

The warm climate of this Old World wine region, combined with sandstone-influenced soils, produces white wines with clear structure, lively acidity, and pronounced aromatic character. The Kakhuri Mtsvane - Jobava Winery presents this origin with impressive precision.

Production of Kakhuri Mtsvane by Jobava Winery

The grapes for Kakhuri Mtsvane - Jobava Winery come from the renowned Kakheti region in eastern Georgia, more precisely from Kindzmarauli. The area has a warm climate with abundant sunshine, enabling the late-ripening Goruli Mtsvane grape variety to reach ideal maturity. The sandstone-influenced soils retain heat, drain excess water effectively, and provide the vines with a balanced supply of nutrients.

The grapes are hand-harvested, allowing for careful selection in the vineyard. Only intact, fully ripe grapes are delivered to the Jobava Winery cellar. This precise handling of the grapes forms the basis for the wine's clear, varietal expression. The character of the Goruli Mtsvane grape remains the focus at all times.

In the cellar, fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and fruit aromatics. The wine then ages sur lie on the lees. This method gives the wine additional complexity, delicate creaminess, and fine brioche notes. Gentle bâtonnage adds depth without compromising its clear, fruity profile.

Part of the production also undergoes bottle fermentation, which gives the texture an even finer impression and harmoniously integrates the aromas. The ageing process aims for a precise, modern style that combines Georgian tradition with contemporary winemaking. Jobava Winery stands for artisanal care, innovative bottle design, and a clear vision of the regional profile of its wines.

The result: a white wine with intense aromatics, elegant structure, and pronounced regional character that impressively reflects the strengths of the warm-climate Kakheti wine-growing region.

The recommended serving temperature is between 10 and 12 °C.

A high-quality white wine glass with a slightly rounded shape provides sufficient space for the complex aromatics to unfold.

The wine is not intended solely for immediate enjoyment. A cellaring potential of up to nine years from the vintage allows for fascinating development in the bottle. The characteristic acidity of the Goruli Mtsvane grape and the careful ageing process give the wine the necessary backbone. When stored in a cool, dark place with minimal vibration, the Kakhuri Mtsvane retains its appealing profile and gains depth over time.
