Barbale Kisi Qvevri is an amber wine made from the indigenous Kisi grape, produced using the traditional qvevri method with fermentation and extended skin contact in buried clay vessels. This process gives the wine its characteristic structure, gentle tannins, and depth.
The style is dry and minimally intervened, allowing the varietal and vintage to express naturally. Aromatically, it shows notes of dried apricot, peach, citrus peel, and subtle herbal nuances, often with a light mineral undertone.
On the palate, it is textured and balanced, combining ripe fruit with fresh acidity and a slightly grippy mouthfeel. The tannins are present but refined, supporting the wine’s structure without dominating it.
The finish is persistent, with lingering fruit and earthy notes. Overall, it represents a classic qvevri expression of Kisi, combining varietal clarity with traditional Georgian winemaking.
