WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Teliani Vineyards 'Amber Blend' is crafted using the traditional Georgian method, which involves a significant six-month skin maceration period. This extended contact with the grape skins is crucial for developing the wine's unique amber color, fuller body, and tannic structure. Both fermentation and subsequent aging take place in stainless steel tanks, a choice made to preserve the wine's inherent freshness and aromatic purity.
