About Case Deal: Bedoba, White, Georgia
If you have never tried a Georgian wine, producer Bedoba has set the bar very high, with their red is one of our best-selling wines ever.
Bedoba White is like a cross between Albarino and Viognier. It is aromatic, fruity and dry, with notes of ripe pear, baked apple, honeycomb, toasted almonds, and subtle wild herbs. A gentle creaminess, refined oak, and the distinctive Qvevri texture lend depth and elegance to this layered wine.
The grapes here are two indigenous white grapes to Georgia, Rkatsileli and Kisi.
Bedoba, which translates to 'Day of Luck', is a Georgian winery primarily dedicated to making wines from the countries indigenous Saperavi grape, partially vinified in traditional qvevri vessels. The original winery, whose cellars date back to 1737, was founded by the Konchosvilli family who had a close relationship with the church ('koncho' means cross). Winemakers Nugzar Ksovreli and Thierry Fontannaz honour this history on Bedoba’s label, with the icon of Saint Nina, whose apostolic work has contributed to the spread of Christianity in Georgia.
