Experience the ancient soul of Georgian winemaking with Pheasant's Tears Rkatsiteli Bodbiskhevi 2023. This 100% Rkatsiteli "amber" wine, crafted in traditional qvevri with extended skin contact, pours a captivating golden amber.

Pheasant's Tears

Founded in 2007 by American artist and winemaker John Wurdeman and Georgian farmer Gela Patalishvili, Pheasant's Tears has become a leading name in the natural wine movement, known for producing wines that are deeply rooted in the history and culture of Georgia, the birthplace of wine.
Georgia is home to an 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition, and Pheasant's Tears is committed to honoring this heritage by using traditional methods, particularly the ancient qvevri technique. Qvevri are large clay vessels buried underground, where the wine ferments and ages naturally, often on its skins, seeds, and stems. This method produces wines with remarkable depth, structure, and a unique character that reflects the Georgian terroir.

Kakheti

Kakheti, located in eastern Georgia, is the country's most renowned wine region, celebrated for its ancient winemaking traditions and diverse, high-quality wines. It benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and mild winters, and its fertile soils are ideal for viticulture. Kakheti is particularly famous for its traditional Qvevri wines, produced in clay vessels buried underground, which impart unique flavors and complexity. The region's standout grape varieties include Saperavi, known for its deep, robust reds, and Rkatsiteli, which produces aromatic, crisp whites. With its combination of ancient techniques and modern innovations, Kakheti offers a captivating wine experience, showcasing the rich heritage and distinctive wines of Georgia.
