Kisi is a native Georgian variety that is mainly associated with Kakheti. Like many Georgian grapes, this white variety is also used for classic dry styles and traditional Georgian amber wines made in large clay vessels (qvevri).

The grape is often blended with Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane Kakhuri. By the 2000s, Kisi was almost extinct, but it is slowly being introduced as a local grape with excellent potential. Classic dry wines are crisp and bright. They have a medium body and aromas reminiscent of flowers, citrus fruit, apples, pears, and peaches. 

Mtsvane Kakhuri, or simply Mtsvane, is an aromatic white grape native to Georgia. The grape produces alcoholic and tannic white wines. It is mainly found in Kakheti, where it is used in varietals and blends and several regional appellations.

Although suitable for various styles, it is primarily used for dry wines and traditional wines made in qvevri—terracotta pots used for fermentation and maturation. Dry white wines made from Mtsvane are fresh and light. They will usually have aromas reminiscent of white and yellow fruit, flowers, and citrus, often accompanied by herbal and mineral notes. 

Arguably the most popular white grape in Georgia and possibly one of the oldest grapes in the world, Rkatsiteli is an incredibly versatile variety used in the production of brandy and dry, sparkling, fortified, and dessert wines. Although it is grown in several other European countries, this ancient grape remains one of the flagship Georgian varieties.

Although it is grown in other regions, it is native to Kakheti. It is resilient to harsh weather conditions, retains excellent acidity, and achieves high sugars. Dry Rkatsiteli wines are light and refreshing. They tend to have an excellent balance of crisp acidity and sweetness that is complemented by complex and subtly spicy aromas of flowers, green apple, quince, and white peaches. 

Tsinandali is a Georgian appellation for white wines produced with a blend of local Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane varieties. It is located in Kakheti, more precisely in the regions Telavi and Kvareli. The appellation includes classic dry wines and traditional Georgian wines made in qvevri (clay amphora).

The resulting wines are straw-colored, light, and refreshing, usually packed with bright acidity. Typical aromas include a blend of yellow, white, and stone fruit and some citrus and floral notes. Qvevri-made wines will have more tannins and aromas that are often reminiscent of apricots.
