MITHRA 2020 is one of the most successful amber blends ever produced at “Wine Artisans”. Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Kisi, and Khikhvi varieties are co-fermented in needed proportions to produce MITHRA - blinding light: the ancient god of radiant sun that sheds light on the universe. MITHRA is an especially aromatic and tasty wine. It ferments in kvevri in stages that vary from year to year. Whichever grapes ripen first, go to kvevri first, and then the others join the process. Overall, alcoholic fermentation continues over a month. Rkatsiteli skins are NOT used for maceration. Grapes for this wine come from the Akhmeta district – one best terroir of Kakheti. As always at “Wine Artisans”, grapes ferment by wild yeasts that come with grapes from the vineyard, as always, no extra chemicals are used, and as always, wine is just not filtered. No sulfites are ever added to the wine. Having spent 7 months in three different kvevris, and 16 months in a stainless steel tank, it is finally bottled in July, aged 23 months. Pairs perfectly with all kinds of meat and pastry, and go great with chicken, fish, and veggie salads.
