Introduction:
The 2023 Chelti Winery Kisi Blanc is a refined and aromatic white wine that highlights the character of the rare Kisi grape, an indigenous varietal from Georgia’s Kakheti region. This wine is a fresh and elegant expression of Chelti Winery’s commitment to traditional Georgian grapes, crafted with a modern touch.

Terrior:
Sourced from the rolling vineyards of Kakheti in eastern Georgia, where the climate features hot summers and cool nights. The region’s loamy and alluvial soils contribute to the wine’s aromatic depth and balanced acidity. This terroir provides optimal ripening conditions while preserving freshness and minerality in the final wine.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with a glistening, brilliant clarity—suggesting youth, purity, and vibrancy.

Nose:
Fresh and floral with aromas of lemon blossom, grapefruit zest, and apricot. Subtle notes of green apple and honeysuckle add complexity, along with a whisper of crushed stone minerality.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a crisp texture. The palate delivers vibrant citrus flavors—lime, lemon, and tangerine—interwoven with notes of stone fruit and a slight herbal lift. Bright acidity gives the wine a clean, refreshing mouthfeel.

Finish:
Elegant and focused, with lingering notes of citrus peel and flinty minerality. The finish is dry, crisp, and refreshing, making it a perfect food wine.

Overall Impression:
A beautiful showcase of the Kisi grape’s potential. This white wine is both refreshing and nuanced, ideal for those seeking something unique yet approachable. Perfect for aperitifs or pairing with Mediterranean fare, seafood, and fresh cheeses.
