About this product
Alaverdi Monastery's traditional Qvevri Rkatsiteli: full skin contact, wild fermentation, and aging in beeswax-sealed Qvevri amphora following 11th-century monastic methods. Deep amber; beeswax, walnut, dried fruit, and extraordinary tannin — one of the world's most historically resonant wines.
