Mtsvane Estate Chinuri-Goruli Mtsvane Pét-Nat 2023 Review
Georgia is mostly known in the U.S. for its skin-contact amber wine that the country has been making for thousands of years, but Mtsvane Estate in the Kartli region of the Republic set out to bring these native varieties into the sparkling realm as a pét-nat. This wine is made with the estate’s namesake grape, the indigenous Mtsvane variety, blended with 10 percent Rkatsiteli. It has a very unique and attractive nose of rose petals and pears drizzled with honey. The palate is crisp, refreshing and balanced with languid bubbles winding through. This would slay with some Pkhali (chopped and minced vegetables) and Georgian smoked cheese.
