JORDANOV RKACITELI MACEDONIA

Tikves, Macedonia 

Rkatceteli is a varietal that goes back to the mists of time. It grows in Macedonia and modern Greece, and is reminiscent of the wonderful, briny Mediterranean white wines that are bright, crisp, clean, and floral. It is, however, distinctive; with pleasing gravelly notes, and a slight exotic quality that makes one know they’re not having another Pinot Grigio. Taut and brisk, this is winemaking with heart. Enjoy with fried oysters.
