Grape Chronicles-Mtsvane (Georgia)

Mtsvane is a traditional Georgian white grape variety, highly valued for its aromatic and fresh characteristics. The name "Mtsvane" means "green" in Georgian, referring to the vibrant greenish hue of the grape berries. There are different sub-varieties of Mtsvane grown in various Georgian wine regions, with the most famous being Mtsvane Kakhuri from Kakheti. 

Characteristics of Mtsvane Grapes & Wine

  • Aroma: Mtsvane wines are intensely aromatic, offering notes of citrus, green apple, tropical fruits, white flowers, and herbal hints.
  • Taste: Typically fresh, crisp, and well-balanced with lively acidity. Some wines, especially Georgian amphora wines (Qvevri wines), have a richer, more complex texture with nutty and honeyed notes.
  • Color: Light golden or straw yellow when made in a modern style; deeper amber if made in Qvevri.
  • Aging Potential: Best enjoyed young for its freshness, but Qvevri versions can age well, developing complexity.

Food Pairing

Mtsvane pairs beautifully with:

  • Seafood (grilled fish, shrimp, oysters)
  • Soft cheeses (like Sulguni or fresh goat cheese)
  • Poultry dishes (chicken in creamy sauces)
  • Vegetarian dishes (salads, grilled vegetables, and herb-based dishes)

Mtsvane in Georgian Winemaking

Mtsvane is often blended with Rkatsiteli, another classic Georgian white grape, to create well-balanced Georgian white wines with both freshness and body. When fermented in Qvevri (traditional clay amphorae), Mtsvane develops a more structured, tannic profile, making it a unique Georgian amphora wine.
