2022 Okro Tsitska

Hailing from Georgia—the original home of wine—this bottle is a taste of vinicultural history. Okro's Wines, founded by John Okruashvili, practices entirely organic farming and zero-additive winemaking across his $5.5\text{ hectare}$ estate. This particular wine features the indigenous Tsitska grape, grown in the Kakheti region. John employs the ancient Qvevrimethod: the grapes are fermented and aged in large, traditional earthenware vessels buried underground. This natural, centuries-old technique imparts both stability and complexity. The wine is made with no added sulphur, zero filtration, and zero fining, delivering a pure, clean, and pristine expression that elegantly bridges the gap between traditional Georgian power and modern natural wine finesse.

Aroma & Palate | A pristine and incredibly clean white wine with high acidity and noticeable tension. The profile is focused on crisp tree fruits, displaying aromas of white pear, green apple, and bright citrus. Depending on the vinification style (Qvevri wines sometimes have skin contact), you might find subtle notes of apricot, yeast, and a delightful mineral-earthy undertone, culminating in a stable, fresh, and deeply pleasant finish.

這款酒源自葡萄酒的發源地格魯吉亞（Georgia），是釀酒歷史的縮影。Okro's Wines 由 John Okruashvili 創立，在 $5.5\text{ 公頃}$ 的莊園中實行全面的有機耕作和零添加釀酒。這款酒採用當地獨有的 Tsitska 葡萄，最核心的釀造工藝是古老的 Qvevri 方法：葡萄在埋於地下的傳統大型陶罐中發酵和陳釀。這種天然、擁有數千年歷史的技術，賦予酒款穩定性和複雜度。葡萄酒釀造過程中沒有添加硫化物、零過濾、零澄清，呈現出一種純正、乾淨的風格，優雅地融合了格魯吉亞傳統的力量感和現代自然酒的細緻。

風味 | 這是一款純淨、清爽的白酒，酸度高且結構緊緻。風味集中於脆爽的樹果香氣，散發出白梨、青蘋果和明亮柑橘的芬芳。由於 Qvevri 釀法可能會涉及輕微的浸皮，它可能帶有細微的杏桃、酵母和令人愉悅的礦物泥土底調，收結穩定、清新且令人難忘。
