Teliani Valley Winery 97 Khikhvi is a pale straw coloured wine with aromas of melon, peach and citrus. On the palate, you'll find similar flavours followed by a ripe and textural taste, ending with a long, linear finish. Enjoy with mildy spiced Middle Eastern dishes, grilled fish, or white meats for a perfect food pairing.

"Honeyed nose of ripe peach and sweet citrus, with a touch of wax. Concentrated with depth on the palate, with honeydew melon, green citrus with refreshing acidity and a pinch of white pepper. Depth of dried peach and ripe melon follow to the finish."

About the Producer

There has been a winery in the village since the 1800s and to ensure that this long history of winemaking continued, Teliani Valley was established in the 1990s by a group of enthusiastic young winemakers. Originally a converted car workshop was their home, but with their tremendous vineyards and skill for making quality wines, they have gone from strength to strength and are now one of the biggest producers in Georgia, with annual production of 5 million bottles.

Although their roots go back years and their connection with traditional winemaking is still strong, Teliani Valley today attracts and supports the most exciting winemakers in Georgia. Their team of innovative winemakers who are given the time, equipment, fruit and support they need to create really exciting modern style wines, and we think that is evident in the selection we have here.

Vineyard and Winery

Although Khikhvi can be used to make practically every Georgian wine style, here we are in familiar classical white wine territory, with a slow cool ferment in stainless steel.
