Iberieli Mtsvane 2022 is a beatiful Amber wine made in qvevri with short maceration. It reads fresh and textural rather than heavy, with herbal edges and a clear tannic presence. The profile is structured, dry, and persistent, leaning more on grip and nuance than overt richness.

Food pairings:
Belgian shrimp croquettes + lemon: crisp frying and citrus lift work well with phenolic grip.

Pesto pasta: green/herbal flavours match the Mtsvane profile.
Iberieli is a family winery run by Zurab Topuridze, with vineyards and winemaking rooted in both Guria (West Georgia) and Kakheti (East Georgia). The estate’s aim is to protect Georgia’s authentic qvevri tradition, making natural-leaning wines from native grapes with a clear sense of place.
Disclaimer: in Kakheti, Zurab’s vineyard sits near Alazani River on stony soils, and his preference for lighter macerations often brings a distinct stony minerality to the finished wines.
