The great wine grape of Russia, Rkatsiteli, is the sixth most planted white grape of the world yet nearly unheard of in the United States. Wonderful acidity, a pleasant spicy, floral character and a hint of sweetness make this wine simply delicious.

Varietal Definition
Rkatsiteli:
Widely grown in eastern Europe, this ancient vinifera reputedly originated in the Caucasus Mountains bordering Armenia and Turkey. Planted on small acreages in the Eastern U.S., mainly in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Makes noticably acidic, balanced white wine with flavors somewhat reminiscent of a spicy Gewurztraminer and Johannisberg Riesling blend.
