Lapati Chaku 2022

Vincent Jullien and Guillaume Gouerou, two Frenchmen, started Lapati after meeting at the Art Villa Garikula center in Tbilisi. Guillaume was a visiting artist in residence while Vincent was on site already experimenting making sparkling wines using grapes from the villa. Lapati is a truly Georgian spirited project just lightly touched by their French roots. They make qvevri fermented pet nats, whites with gentle maceration and carbonic reds that truly speak of a new moment in Georgian wine. This particular white is 100% Rkatsiteli fermented in Qveri with ambient yeast and features a bone-dry finish, crisp acidity, and prominent notes of citrus and stone fruit 12.7% ABV
