Serving temperature
8–10 °C
Fish, young cheese, vegetable dishes, khachapuri.

Medals, with the competition and the year attached.
A medal on its own is decoration. Each one here carries the competition, the year and the weight of that competition.
No awards on record
We do not invent recognition. When a competition publishes results for this wine, they appear here with the year and the weight of the competition.
The season, vintage by vintage.
What the season was like in the Kartli region compared with the previous decade.
as warm as the previous ten years here
an ordinary September for rain
no spring frost down to −2 °C after 10 April
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 / 44.100006. 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.
This wine has no appellation on record, so the weather is taken for the region and describes the wider area.
Zones sharing this grid cell: 2. Their weather does not differ in this data — the grid is coarser than the zones.
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.
Close in style, not in price.
