Serving

How to serve it, and what to expect in the glass.

Glass

Amber wine glass

A wide bowl with high walls: skin-contact wine is tannic like a red and needs air, but is served cooler.

Serving temperature

12–14 °C

Amber wines behave like light reds: poultry, pork, hard cheese, walnut dishes.

Do not over-chill: below 10 °C tannins turn harsh.

Where these figures come from

Only the unusual is coloured: warmth and September rain are compared with this area's mean over the previous ten years; a frost means a minimum of −2 °C or lower after 10 April. An uncoloured indicator means “as usual”, a dashed one means no data. How the year went in other zones is behind the year link.

ERA5-Land reanalysis, precipitation from ERA5 (Copernicus Climate Change Service) via the Open-Meteo archive, grid cell 42.000000 / 45.300003. The comparison is with this zone's own mean over the previous ten years: against the 1991–2020 climate normal almost every recent year in Kakheti would read as "warmer than usual", which says more about warming than about the season. This is a gridded model, not a weather station in the vineyard.

Warmth and rain explain what the season was like; they do not replace tasting and do not tell you whether the wine is ready to drink.
