Khikhvi (Qvevri)

Khikhvi is one of the most aromatic white grape varieties from the Kakhetian region, often used for creating various wine styles. Our vineyards are located in Gulgula village. Khikhvi was fermented in Qvevri and matured for two months with full skin contact and then wine getting aged in Qvevri for six month. The fully amber-coloured wine is rich with captivating aromas such as quince, dried apple, sultana, hay, and sweet tobacco. Soft tannins and a well-balanced structure make this wine even more delicious, silky, and gastronomic. Secondary aromas repeat on the palate, leading to a soft, lingering finish.
