Rkadish ( Georgian Rkatsiteli ) is an autochthonian white wine variety that, like the Saperawi variety, comes from the Kachei region at the foot of the Caucasus in the east of Georgia.

Near the city of Wani, 5000 -year -old clay jugs with nuclei of this grape variety were found. According to Jancis Robinson, she was the most common grape variety in the former Soviet Union. After a vine tobogganing program decided under Gorbachev in the mid-1980s, the vineyard area of ​​the Rkaziteli decreased significantly. At the beginning of the 1990s there were around 48,000 hectares of best area on the then territory of the Soviet Union. In 2016, Georgia was the main extension area with 25,324 ha. Other significant vineyards were registered in Russia (6,477 ha), Ukraine (5,775 ha), Bulgaria (5,415 ha), Moldau (3,898 ha) and Kazakhstan (3,552 ha). There were still smaller growing areas in northern Macedonia, Romania and Serbia. The worldwide stock was 51,374 ha in 2016. [first]

The name Rkadish means “red stems” ( Horn , RKA = Stem, sprout, drive; Red , ziteli = rot).

While fresh wines are killed in terms of international taste, the Georgians like a more oxidative heavy wine style. In general, the wine can be stored for several years. In addition, the variety is suitable for expanding dessert wines and for the production of wines in the style of a sherry. One of the most famous Georgian traditions, the rather light and fruity zinandali, is a blend that contains 85% Rkaziteli. [2]
