Qvevri is an amphora-shaped clay vessel from Georgia. It was made from clay from the Kakheti region. The soil there contains a higher amount of silver, which has an aseptic effect and the wine is therefore more protected against various negative microbial impurities. Additional strength and protection of the wine are provided by natural antioxidants, which are released during fermentation and the subsequent several months of aging of the wine on the skins and pips.
Jan's Gewürztraminer spent initial 12 months in Qvevri and next 12 months in old oak barrels. This combination of vessels and length of maturing made the wine well integrated with tannins vivid yet smooth. Wine was bottled without finning, filtration and with no addition of Sulphites. Wines is vegan.
The signatory Traminer notes are showing perfectly on the nose - lychee mixed with rose petals mixed with more spices. Similar notes in the taste, all wrapped in smooth tannins and solid acidity.
Alcohol: 12.5%
