Teliani Valley Winery, 97 Kakhuri No8 2022 Santa Rita Hills Tucuman 2019

Tucuman 2019

estate-grown South African red wine from the prestigious Bottelary Hills sub-region of Stellenbosch

this is fruitier and more 'youthful' than some examples

along with sneaky hints of lavender and anise seed

Teliani Valley Winery, 97 Kakhuri No8 2022 Santa Rita Hills Tucuman 2019A fun orange wine coming from Georgia with rich notes of dried fruit and nuts, all with a fresh finish. Kakhuri No8 is a blend of four indigenous Georgian varieties and the grapes are hand harvested and then fermented using the traditional Kakhetian method before skin contact fermentation adds that amber colour and a hint of tannins. One to drink cool, not chilled, and with fish or creamy cheese.
