For this sixth and final bottle, we simply had to return to the cradle of wine culture: Georgia. Chona's Marani is a small family estate led by winemaker Mikheil Chonishvili in the famous Kakheti region. They work entirely according to the ancient, traditional method where the wine ferments in a 'qvevri', a large clay amphora buried underground. While our journey started with just a few days of skin contact, this blend of indigenous Kisi and Mtsvane grapes spends a full month and a half entirely on its skins in the clay. This is orange wine in its most traditional, robust, and ancient form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eThe Vibe \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJust pouring this wine is an experience. It boasts a deep, radiant amber color. Because of the extended skin contact and qvevri aging, this bottle has built up a serious, impressive structure, featuring firm tannins that you would normally expect to find in a red wine. In the glass, you will discover a massively layered bouquet of apricot, peach, walnut, and earthy spices. Despite that immense power and the dry, nutty style, the wine maintains a fantastic, sharp acidity that keeps every sip incredibly vibrant. This is not a wine for mindless sipping. Serve it (definitely not too cold!) alongside a hearty meal with mushrooms or aged cheeses, and taste the liquid history of Georgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Troebel Wijnen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53062812762455,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1901\/1415\/files\/Chona.jpg?v=1774014907","url":"https:\/\/troebelwijnen.nl\/products\/60-days-of-skin-contact-chona-s-marani-kisi-mtsvane-2022","provider":"Troebel Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
