Description
Red berries – Floral – Tannins
Founded in 2007, Pheasant’s Tears was set up to revive the ancient traditions of Georgian winemaking. The vineyard plantings flow down the slopes of the eastern Georgian Kiziqi province overlooking the Alazani Valley and snow-capped Caucasus Mountains. The Pheasant’s Tears principal site is located near the village of Tibaani in the shadow of the 6th-century Monastery of St Stephen.
Georgian law dictates that when red and white grapes are blended, the result must be labelled as rose, but this drops closer to a light red. Notes of ripe red currants, damsons and violets come to the fore with some earthiness, acidity and fine-grained tannins. The inclusion of white grapes gives a delicate floral component to the wine.
Grapes: Tavkveri, Shavkapito, Danakharuli, Chinuri, Garuli Mtsvane
