Teliani Valley Kisi Qvevri 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 vintage in Kakheti delivered warm, dry conditions that produced concentrated and aromatic Kisi grapes, ideal for expressive amber (orange) wines. Teliani Kisi Qvevri 2020 is crafted from the indigenous Kisi variety using the ancient Georgian qvevri method, where fermentation and aging occur in large clay vessels buried underground—a technique that imparts distinctive texture and depth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This wine captivates with vibrant aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, and wild herbs, complemented by subtle hints of honey and tea leaf. On the palate, it is structured and textural, with fine tannins from extended skin contact, lively acidity that lifts flavors of stone fruit and spice, and a savory, lingering finish. Its complexity and body make it a versatile companion to dishes such as roasted pork belly, aged Comté cheese, or crispy duck, where the wine’s tannins and aromatic profile enhance rich, flavorful cuisine.
Winery Background
Teliani Valley stands as one of Georgia’s most respected wineries, celebrated for its commitment to blending modern winemaking with centuries-old traditions. Founded in the late 1990s, Teliani Valley has played a key role in revitalizing the qvevri winemaking technique, which UNESCO recognizes as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. The estate sources grapes from select vineyards in Kakheti, focusing on indigenous varieties and sustainable viticulture practices. Teliani Valley’s philosophy centers on authenticity and minimal intervention, allowing the unique character of Georgian terroir and native grapes like Kisi to shine through. Their dedication to the qvevri method and natural fermentation highlights both the historical significance and contemporary quality of Georgian wine, making each bottle a true reflection of the region’s heritage and innovation.
