Pheasant's Tears Quinta Red Blend 2021

All of our wines at Pheasant’s Tears are fermented and aged in qvevri, a unique Georgian vessel used to ferment and store wine. 

In accordance with Georgian traditional winemaking methods, the ripest of stems are added to the grape skins, juice and pits, for both our reds and our whites. The maceration time depends on varietal and the size of the qvevri and varies between 3 weeks and 6 months.

Since all of Pheasant's Tears' wines are aged exclusively in qvevri, no flavours are imparted from oak barrels. What some might consider a lack of oak, they view as an opportunity to let the quality of the grapes and the resulting wine shine through.

Several of their 2009 varietals are being bottled for the first time in over a hundred years. Let Pheasant’s Tears introduce you to ancient varietals made in the vibrant Georgian tradition.
