Chelti Qvevri Kisi is a dry amber wine from the Kakheti region, made from the indigenous Kisi grape using the traditional qvevri method, where fermentation and aging take place in clay vessels buried underground. Extended skin contact gives the wine its characteristic amber-orange color and a pronounced texture.

The aromatic profile is defined by ripe pear, apricot, dried fruit, and honey, complemented by subtle spice and herbal nuances. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with balanced acidity and gentle tannins that contribute to structure and length.

The texture is rounded and layered, combining fruit expression with light oxidative notes typical of this style. The wine is approachable yet complex, clearly expressing the character of the Kisi variety.

It reflects a natural, low-intervention philosophy that defines the winery’s approach. It pairs well with poultry, fish, spiced dishes, and aged cheeses.

Overall, it is an authentic and balanced qvevri wine that highlights both the variety and the Kakheti terroir.
