Aromas reveal ripe apple, wax, marzipan, and intriguing spicy notes, all underscored by a surprisingly robust and vivacious acidity. Depending on the vinification method, it may also showcase significant tannins. Rkatsiteli embodies Georgia’s storied winemaking legacy, a captivating blend of myth and scientific curiosity.
