Production of Rkatsiteli dry - Terra Kisi

The grapes for Rkatsiteli dry - Terra Kisi come from carefully selected sites in Kakheti, the eastern heartland of Georgian viticulture. The climate features warm summers, cool nights and ample sunshine, encouraging a long ripening period with intense aromatic development. The gravelly and clay-rich soils provide good drainage while also supplying the vines with a stable water source.

The grapes are harvested selectively so that only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated fruit is used. The harvested grapes are transported promptly to the winery to preserve their freshness and varietal character in full. Gentle processing of the berries safeguards the delicate aromas of citrus fruits and white flowers while preventing oxidative notes.

After pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This vinification preserves the clear fruit and crisp structure of the Rkatsiteli. Contact with the fine lees lends the wine additional depth without compromising its lightness. The winery refrains from using wood so that the grape variety can express its pure, unadulterated personality.

Terra Kisi’s style focuses on precision, freshness and authenticity. The emphasis is on clear fruit, linear structure and pronounced terroir expression. Every step in the vineyard and cellar follows this guiding principle. The result is a modern Georgian white wine with a traditional soul and a contemporary profile.

A serving temperature in the lower double-digit range particularly accentuates the crisp texture.

The wine can be stored for approximately three years from the vintage. During this period, it retains its youthful freshness, pronounced citrus fruit and invigorating structure. Upright storage in a cool, dark place without major temperature fluctuations preserves its aromatic clarity through to the final bottle.
