{"product_id":"tsolikouri-orange-vartsikhe-marani-natural-wine","title":"Tsolikouri Orange 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eTsolikouri is the dominant white grape of western Georgia, planted across nearly 90% of Imereti's vineyards. Vartsikhe Marani grows it in the Baghdati district of Imereti, where stony loam soils rich in calcium carbonate and limestone, combined with a humid subtropical climate influenced by the Black Sea, produce grapes with vibrant natural acidity and concentrated flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made entirely in qvevri — large clay vessels buried in the ground — using spontaneous wild yeast fermentation with full skin contact for approximately 180 days. Once fermentation stops as outdoor temperatures drop, the wine is transferred to fresh qvevri and left to age through the winter months. The solids settle naturally to the bottom; the wine is then bottled unfiltered with no additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a deep amber wine with aromas of dried apricot, quince, wildflowers, and honey, and a texture that is fuller and more structured than you would expect from a standard white wine. Skin contact contributes noticeable but fine-grained tannins alongside the grape's characteristic acidity. This is the classic Imeretian amber style, direct from one of the region's dedicated natural producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vartsikhe Marani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37766281101511,"sku":"VARTTSOL18C","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/vartsikhe-marani-tsolikouri-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186625","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/tsolikouri-orange-vartsikhe-marani-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
