A five-variety red blend from Pheasant's Tears combining Chinuri, Tavkveri, Shavkapito, Danakhruli, and Mtsvane — a genuinely rare Georgian red field blend made in qvevri with zero added sulphur, bringing together five rarely seen indigenous varieties in a single wine of extraordinary complexity.
Tasting Notes
Medium ruby with natural haze. Five indigenous Georgian red varieties in one qvevri — each bringing a different dimension of Georgia's extraordinary native grape diversity. The result is fragrant, complex, and multi-layered with red fruit, dried herbs, earthy minerals, and the characteristic savoury depth of qvevri ageing. A wine that rewards attention and food in equal measure.

About the Producer
Pheasant's Tears was founded in 2007 by Georgian painter and winemaker Gela Patalishvili and American artist John Wurdeman in Tibaani, Kakheti. One of the most celebrated natural wine estates in Georgia, they revived traditional qvevri winemaking using ancient clay amphorae buried in the earth, and have become a global reference point for Georgian natural wine and the country's extraordinary indigenous varieties.
