Memo Summary Notes
The Kapistoni Goruli Mtsvane 2022 is a sophisticated "Amber" (orange) wine from Georgia's Kartli region. While many Georgian white grapes like Rkatsiteli produce bold, tannic amber wines, the Goruli Mtsvane variety is prized for its high-toned aromatics and comparative elegance.
This 2022 vintage is a standout for Kapistoni, recently earning accolades for its balance of traditional "Qvevri power" and fresh fruit.
