Ori Marani, Marta, 2021, Georgia (v)

Ori Marani’s Marta 2021 from Georgia is a playful twist on Chinuri, a white grape treated with skin contact for that vibrant orange wine flair.

These grapes are half-destemmed and spend two months cozying up in a Qvevri before resting in a 350 L oak barrel. Bottled with no fining or filtering and just a whisper of SO₂, it pours a deep yellow to amber glow. Expect a nose of white truffle, humus, and bergamot, followed by zesty lemon, dried apricot, and acacia honey on the tongue—fresh, textured, and delightfully long-lasting.
