GWS

GWS is one of Georgia’s most important and internationally recognized wineries, based in the Kakheti region in the east of the country, where the Saperavi grape is at its best. Owning over 400 ha of vines, it is under the tightly controlled and exceptionally professional stewardship of Philippe Lespy, formerly Head Viticulturist at Château Mouton-Rothschild in Bordeaux for over eight years. GWS produces wonderfully expressive wines that represent some of the finest value in Georgian winemaking.
Deep golden in colour the bouquet oozes grapefruit and pineapple tones. The palate is tangy with Gulabi pear, cedar and pine dominant. Kisi, Kisi, Kisi!!
Smoked fish, mixed salads, chicken with herbs.
Fresh pressed first run is used for to make this elegant wine using cultural yeasts. Fermented in stainless steel at 14°C for up to four weeks followed by ageing in new French 400 lt barrel for 6-8 months.

Evening Standard Round up of Best Georgian Wines, January 2024: ''Made from an indigenous grape that very nearly faced extinction, this golden-yellow white is tangy and lively, bursting with pineapple, grapefruit and pear flavours. Super with crisp salads in the summer.''
