‘Vardisperi’

Rkatsiteli, Saperavi, Imereti, Georgia

‘Vardisperi’ translates to "the pink one” and certainly does not disappoint, so come on Georgian Barbie, let’s go to a rosé party! Winemakers Bastien Warskotte and Nino Gvantseladze focus exclusively on regional varietals, and their wines not only carry the 8000-year legacy of Georgian winemaking, but also belong to the new wave of winemakers reintroducing Georgia to the world. From a 40 year old vineyard planted on minerality-heaping calcareous soils, we get a direct pressed blend of tarragon-y rkatsiteli & autumnal, rich saperavi combining for the prettiest darn rosé. Fermented in old French wooden barrels and aged in steel tanks to keep aromatics big n’ bold. Sweet pea perfumed, picking the cherries out of a black forest cake, bloody minerality, fruitopia & green peppercorn. Enjoy with a plate of fresh fruits, nuts and the softest of cheeses drizzled in honey.
