Dugladze Kakhuri Qvevri Amber is a traditional Georgian amber wine crafted from Rkatsiteli grapes in Kakheti and fermented in qvevri, the ancient clay vessels buried underground. Produced using extended skin contact, it combines the freshness of white wine with the texture and complexity of amber wine. Rich, earthy, and expressive, it offers an authentic taste of Georgia's 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Ripe apricot, peach, orange peel, honey, and subtle spice.
Palate: Velvety and textured, with flavours of caramelised orange, peach, baked apple, and spiced bread balanced by gentle tannins and fresh acidity.
Finish: Long and complex, with lingering dried fruit, saline minerality, and savoury spice.
