Introduction
The Rosha Winery's "Timothee" is an amber wine from the Kakheti region of Georgia, crafted from a blend of Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane grape varieties. This wine exemplifies traditional Georgian winemaking techniques, notably the use of qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground for fermentation and aging.

Terroir
Kakheti, located in eastern Georgia, is renowned for its rich winemaking heritage and diverse microclimates. The region's fertile soils and favorable climate conditions contribute to the cultivation of high-quality Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane grapes, both indigenous varieties celebrated for their distinctive characteristics.

Appearance
Pale amber hue, indicative of extended skin contact during fermentation, a hallmark of traditional qvevri winemaking.

Nose
Aromas of ripe apple and quince, complemented by subtle notes of honey, reflecting the wine's complex bouquet.

Palate
On the palate, it presents flavors of tree fruits, notably apple, with a balanced acidity and a hint of honey, leading to a harmonious and structured profile.

Finish
The finish is smooth and lingering, with the fruit and honey notes gently fading, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip.

Overall Impression
The Rosha "Timothee" Rkatsiteli-Mtsvane is a well-crafted amber wine that showcases the depth and complexity achievable through traditional Georgian winemaking methods. Its harmonious balance of fruit flavors and subtle honeyed notes makes it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring lean fish, mushrooms, or mild cheeses.
