From a native variety grown in the warmer humid climate of western Georgia, Krakhuna. This is made with less skin contact than most of the wines made in the eastern portion of the country. Fermentation includes 10% skins in classic, earthenware qvevri. The wine itself is fresher, more delicate and with a subtle citrus and yellow fruit character.
Note that the term Kvaliti on the label is a reference to the village name and the prefix "Kva" means stone in Georgian.

Mtsvane or Mtsvane Kakhuri is a grape variety used to make Georgian wines. It is used to make white wine. It is often blended with Rkatsiteli to which it adds a fruity, aromatic balance. In the Georgian language Mtsvani means new, young and green.
On rich and fertile land, the region of Kakheti is Georgia's agricultural powerhouse producing 70% of the countries grapes. Broken down into three main regions, it is then split further in to over 25 established terroirs such as Tsinandali, Teliani, Napereuli and Mukuzani. The region's main varieties for reds are Saperavi and Cabernet Sauvignon, and for whites, Kakhuri and Rkatsiteli Mtsvane. The country's traditional methods are once again being employed with re-emergence of Kakehtian wines, which are aged in earthenware jars after an extended three or four month maceration.
