As with many old varieties, there are many stories about them: In Christian Georgia, the legend persists that Noah Rkatsiteli is said to have planted the first grapevine after his ark landed. The close genetic relationship to local wild vines is not a legend, which supports the thesis that the Caucasus is considered to be the cradle of the first vines consciously cultivated by mankind. Not really orange, rather copper-colored in the glass. Ripe apple, wax, marzipan, spicy notes, astonishingly high, very lively acidity and, according to the vinification method, a significant amount of tannin.
