The vineyard plantings flow down the slopes of the eastern Georgian Kiziqi province overlooking the Alazani Valley and snow-capped Caucasus Mountains. The Pheasant’s Tears' principal site is located near the village of Tibaani in the shadow of the 6th-century Monastery of St. Stephen. Pheasant’s Tears owns several vineyards spread over several villages - there are 15 ha currently under vine, plus various others in the process of being planted. In Tibaani, John and Gela are dedicating vineyards to rare white varietals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA distinctive Georgian wine made from Vardisperi Rkatsiteli, a rare pink-skinned mutation of the traditional Rkatsiteli grape. The fruit comes from organically farmed vineyards in Tibaani, Kakheti, on sandstone and quartz soils. Following hand harvesting, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation and extended skin contact in traditional buried clay qvevri, giving the wine its characteristic copper-pink colour and gentle tannic structure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWild strawberry, raspberry and dried flowers meet stone fruit, rooibos tea and subtle herbal notes.
