Since 2007, they have farmed their vineyards with minimal intervention, using wild yeasts and traditional qvevri winemaking to best showcase the extraordinary terroir of Kakheti. The name comes from an old Georgian tale claiming that only the best wine could make a pheasant cry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTibaani is a sub-zone of Kakheti, in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, where the ancient Georgian grape varieties Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane have been cultivated for millennia. This blend of the two varieties is vinified in the traditional Georgian manner: fermented and aged in qvevri — traditional clay amphorae buried in the earth — with a full month of skin maceration, producing a wine of remarkable depth, texture, and complexity. The wine is unfiltered and unfined, allowing for natural sedimentation in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is deep golden in the glass. The nose offers honey blossom, dried apricot, quince, and a hint of walnut, with an earthy, ancient quality that speaks directly to the qvevri and the land. On the palate, full-bodied and dry with a nutty, textured richness, bright acidity, and a long, complex finish. A wine of genuine character that transports you to the cradle of wine civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from certified organic grapes. Pair with roasted meats, spiced lamb, charcuterie, aged hard cheeses, washed-rind cheeses, and dishes with Caucasian or Middle Eastern spice profiles. Decant before serving; a little sedimentation is natural and expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pheasant's Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub-zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tibaani, Kakheti, Republic of Georgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Qvevri Amber Wine (Orange Wine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented and aged in qvevri (buried clay amphorae); 1-month skin maceration; unfiltered \u0026amp; unfined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49971753517339,"sku":"210000058559","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/fwhbkfhbsqddt98pa1v2.jpg?v=1784831423","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/pheasants-tears-rkatsiteli-mtsvane-tibaani-organic-2024-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
