The winery was founded in 2007 by American artist and ethnographer John Wurdeman and Georgian winemaker Gela Patalishvili, whose family has been making wine for generations. Pheasant’s Tears has become one of the most influential producers in Georgia's natural wine movement, helping introduce traditional Georgian varieties and winemaking methods to wine drinkers around the world. The winery farms organically and works with indigenous grape varieties, native yeast fermentations, and minimal intervention in the cellar. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1213\" data-start=\"723\"\u003eThis wine is made from 100% rkatsiteli, Georgia's most widely planted white grape. Unlike many traditional Georgian rkatsiteli wines, which see extended skin contact and are made as amber wines, the Bodbiskhevi bottling is produced with a very short period of skin maceration - more as a true white wine. The fruit comes from approximately 45 year old vines planted on sandstone soils on north facing slopes near the village of Bodbiskhevi, preserving freshness and aromatic purity. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1600\" data-start=\"1215\"\u003eThe grapes are hand harvested and direct pressed, then fermented with native yeasts. The wine is unfined, unfiltered, and organically farmed. This approach highlights a brighter, more delicate expression of rkatsiteli than many drinkers expect from Georgia. Rather than emphasizing tannin and texture, the focus is on freshness, purity, and fruit. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2084\" data-start=\"1602\"\u003eIn the glass, the 2024 vintage offers notes of pear, apricot, stone fruit, citrus blossom, and orange peel, with lively acidity and a clean mineral finish. While many Georgian whites can be powerful and savory, this bottling is particularly approachable, showcasing the grape's elegant side while retaining a distinct sense of place. It is an excellent match for seafood, fresh cheeses, salads, roast chicken, and Mediterranean inspired dishes. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Plant Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51314322571579,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4991\/3915\/files\/Pheasant_sTearsRkatsiteliBodbiskhevi2024-FrontLabel.jpg?v=1780679595","url":"https:\/\/flightwineshop.com\/products\/pheasant-s-tears-rkatsiteli-bodbiskhevi-2024","provider":"Flight Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
