Rkatsiteli was very popular in the Soviet Union prior to its fall. It is still preferred in Russia . It was often grown in the other Soviet republics as well (other than Georgia) and exported to Russia without sufficient compensation to warrant its continued production when market forces were imposed. It is also planted in eastern Europe and on small pieces of land in Australia and the eastern United States , mainly in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Rkatsiteli makes noticeably acidic, balanced white wine with flavors somewhat reminiscent of an aromatic Gewürztraminer and Johannisberg Riesling blend. Famous Georgian wines made of Rkatsiteli grapes: Rkatsiteli , Tsinandali , Gurjaani , Napareuli . EXTERNAL LINKS SEE ALSO |
