Topuridze Mtsvane 2024
12% alcohol, cork, Georgia.

Zurab Topuridze is an outstanding producer of Georgian wine. The Topuridze wines are worth seeking out and thereafter following. I tasted a great many wines on a recent trip to Georgia – maybe two or three hundred – and the Topuridze range was one of the key discoveries. The Topuridze website is worth a look too. I only had the chance to experience these wines briefly – hence the brief note – but the impression that they made was clear.

Bang on. Texture, intensity through the palate, a sense of wildness throughout but in the context of control. I'm sure that this wine is both savoury and fruity but the impression and feel of it is that it’s seamless. That’s a feat. I love the dry, chalky, salty, smoky character of this wine, and especially the way it manifests and elevates through the finish. 94 points.

I also reviewed the Topuridze Golden Blend 2024 on the (subscriber) Winefront site here.
