Askaneli KISI whtie dry wine – 0,75 l

Askaneli Kisi

Step off the beaten path and discover a variety that was once nearly lost to history. Askaneli Kisi is a sophisticated white wine crafted for the modern explorer—a perfect bridge between ancient heritage and contemporary elegance.

For decades, the Kisi grape was a hidden secret, nearly facing extinction. Today, thanks to the dedicated craftsmanship of Askaneli, it is reclaiming its title as Georgia’s most noble white variety. Unlike the intense, tannic Qvevri versions, this expression is crafted using the classic European method. This approach preserves the grape’s delicate primary fruit and crystalline freshness, offering a profile that is both rare and remarkably refined.

Sommeliers often describe Kisi as the “perfect middle ground”: it possesses the firm, reliable structure of Rkatsiteli combined with the intoxicating floral aromatics of Mtsvane. It is a wine of balance, destined for those who demand more than just the status quo.

• Appearance: A brilliant, sparkling straw-yellow with youthful greenish reflections.

• Aroma: Captivating and remarkably pure. A fresh basket of ripe pears and green apples mingles with zesty citrus and a sophisticated hint of exotic fruits and white meadow blossoms.

• Palate: Harmonious and medium-bodied. The natural fruit sweetness is masterfully balanced by a crisp, vibrant acidity, creating a multi-layered tasting experience that never feels heavy.

• Finish: A long, dry, and highly cultivated finish that leaves the palate refreshed and intrigued.

The Art of the Pour

To fully appreciate the fragile aromatics of the Kisi grape, precision is key:

• Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 10–12 °C.

• The Perfect Aperitif: Its elegance makes it a premier choice for starting an evening or a celebratory toast.

• Food Pairing: An exceptional gastronomic wine. It pairs flawlessly with seafood platters, grilled trout, or roasted poultry. It also complements light summer salads and fresh, young goat cheeses with ease.
