Tilisma Winery: Rkatsiteli

Tilisma Rkatsiteli White is a classic white blend from Mukuzani (Kakheti), built around Georgia’s most iconic grapes. It keeps a delicate body while staying expressive, with notes that lean toward citrus, orchard fruit and gentle herbal lift. The style is clean and balanced, focusing on clarity rather than weight. A straightforward Mukuzani interpretation of a timeless Kakhetian duo.

Meet Keti, the driving force behind Tilisma—one of Kakheti’s standout women winemakers. Her signature is a lighter, more lifted expression of Kakhetian tradition: wines that keep their authenticity, but feel brighter, cleaner, and more approachable. Rooted in Mukuzani, she lets the vineyard lead and uses time-honoured Georgian methods to build texture without heaviness. The result is Kakheti with finesse—characterful, honest, and unmistakably Tilisma
