So I survived my first encounter with traditional Georgian wines. Further tastings showed that wines made by traditional ‘Kakhetian technology’ are indeed extremely interesting. I am less convinced that delicate white varieties that are prone to oxidation are suitable for Qvevri wine making. I did not particularly like either of the two traditional Rkatsiteli-based Qvevri wines that I tried in the region.
