2021 Obscura White

Our OBSCURA White blend consists of the grape varieties Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Petite Manseng from organic farming. The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed in two qvevri per variety, with natural fermentation starting spontaneously after three to five days. Fermentation lasted around 14 days, during which the cap was crushed four times a day with a special wooden tool. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was left on the skins for a further six weeks, during which time it continued to be gently racked daily. This aging on the skins helps extract the tannins and gives the wine its unique characteristics and amber hue. While Georgians are known for giving their white wines up to six months of skin contact, we opted for a more conservative approach for our first vintage of OBSCURA. Without any additions or adjustments, the tannins help preserve the wine and act as a natural alternative to SO2.
