Telavi Marani Mtsvane 2019
Taste the refined flavor of Telavi Marani Mtsvane, an exceptional dry white wine from the prestigious Kakheti region in Georgia. Made from 100% Mtsvane grapes, one of the oldest and most prized indigenous grape varieties, this wine offers a unique blend of freshness and complexity. The grapes are hand-selected in early September from the famous Kondoli vineyards. After harvest, they are carefully destemmed and cooled to 4-6°C, followed by an 8-hour maceration on the skins to extract the maximum aromas. The grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press. The fermentation process takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14-15°C and lasts about 30 days. After fermentation, the wine continues to mature in separate tanks to refine its flavor. The first bottles of Marani Mtsvane are bottled in March, following the harvest. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine offers a perfect balance between fresh liveliness and deep complexity. Ideal for lovers of elegant and refined white wines.
This elegant wine radiates a light, pale gold color with a delicate green sheen, immediately revealing its fresh and vibrant character. Upon opening the bottle, an inviting aroma emerges, rich in floral scents. The fragrance is refined and invigorating, with notes of citrus fruits like juicy grapefruit and refreshing lemon, creating a perfectly balanced olfactory experience. The flavor profile of the Telavi Marani Mtsvane is refreshing and full-bodied, with the balance between lively freshness and subtle floral accents making the wine particularly enjoyable. The finish is long and crisp, elegantly rounding off the wine in a refined manner. Thanks to its fresh and delicate acidity, this wine is ideal for pairing with light, sophisticated dishes. It pairs excellently with fresh fish dishes like grilled sea bass, delicate sushi, or a fresh ceviche. It also shines when paired with light starters, such as salads with goat cheese, crispy asparagus, or grilled vegetables, where the wine’s freshness beautifully complements the flavors. Additionally, the wine is a perfect match with soft cheeses like feta, ricotta, or mild brie, offering a delightful contrast with its fresh taste. For the best experience, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 8-10°C, allowing the fresh aromas and vibrant flavors to truly stand out.
