Introduction:
The 2023 Tamar White Blend from Kakheti, Georgia is a captivating and textural wine, showcasing the elegance of native Georgian varieties with modern clarity. It balances ripe fruit, herbal nuance, and freshness—an inviting expression of Kakheti terroir.
Terrior:
Made from organically farmed vineyards in Kakheti, Eastern Georgia. Soils are predominantly clay-loam with sand and alluvial contributions. Warm days and cool nights ensure aromatic intensity and balanced acidity, while traditional gourmet expression is supported by low-yield, manual harvesting.
Appearance:
Pale straw-gold with green reflections; clear with a slightly viscous sheen, hinting at texture.
Nose:
Luminous aromatics of white peach, green apple, jasmine, and lemon blossom mingle with herbal notes of tarragon and fresh thyme—lifted and inviting.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied, with a crisp backbone and harmonious texture. Flavors of orchard fruit—white peach, apricot—are complemented by lemon zest and mineral lift. A soft herbal undercurrent and delicate lees contact add depth and mouthfeel, while balanced acidity keeps it fresh.
Finish:
Clean and precise—fruit recedes into chalky minerality, subtle citrus peel, and a whisper of herbal spice that lingers gently.
Overall Impression:
A harmonious Georgian white blend with brightness, herbal clarity, and minerality. Versatile and food-friendly—excellent with grilled seafood, vegetable dishes, or light poultry. Best enjoyed throughout 2024–2027 for maximum freshness.
