Teliani Valley Kakhuri No8 is a blend of 4 Georgian indigenous grape varieties – Rkatsiteli, Kakhuri Mtsvane, Khikhvi and Kisi, harvested in Kakheti, east Georgia. Grapes are exclusively hand selected and only highest quality, fully ripe grapes are used for production. The wine is made using old Kakhetian traditional winemaking method with skin contact. Fermentation on skins takes place for 7-10 days, once the fermentation is finished the grape skin remain with the wine for 6 months.
From Teliani’s more experimental ‘Winery 97’ project, this amber wine is a blend of four varieties that you can’t pronounce – luckily the rich dried fruit and nutty flavours and long dry refreshing finish are much easier to get your mouth around!
The wine pairs especially well with fish dishes and cheeses.
"The skin contact here takes place in steel rather than qvevri, changing the shape and flow of the wine a little and giving it a brisker feel with tighter-grained tannins and a chalky dryness that complements its notes of agave syrup, satsuma, walnuts and yellow apples." 92pts Decanter (January 2026)
