The Character
Kisi · Semi-Sweet
Like individuals, wine has unique personalities and tells their own stories.
This wine is named after my sixth child, Mariné. Just like her, the wine is delicate, graceful, and sweet.
“Semi-sweet white wine made from 100% Kisi grapes & harvested in the viticultural region of Kakheti, Georgia.”

Kakheti
Designation
Georgia's principal wine region, in the east, holding roughly 60 to 70 percent of the country's vineyard area and most of its appellations. The Likhi Ridge shields it from Black Sea moisture, giving warm, dry summers and cold winters, while the Alazani and Iori valleys temper vineyards planted between about 250 and 800 meters. It is the heartland of the Kakhetian qvevri method, which ferments white grapes on their skins, seeds and stems to produce Georgia's classic amber wines.
About Mariné
Mariné is semi-sweet rather than fully sweet. It carries a gentle sweetness with delicate floral aromas, honey and stone fruit, medium-bodied at 11.5% alcohol, finishing gracefully.
No. Mariné and Amber are both made from 100% Kisi, but Mariné is a semi-sweet white wine, while Amber is a dry skin-contact wine fermented in qvevri. Only Amber is an amber, or orange, wine.
Kisi is a rare indigenous white grape of eastern Kakheti, historically grown around Telavi and Kvareli. It was almost lost: phylloxera thinned it out a century ago and it yields a quarter to a third less than Rkatsiteli, so growers abandoned it. The quality of its wine brought it back. In the Lanchava Collection it appears twice, as the semi-sweet Mariné and the qvevri-fermented Amber.
