Pheasant's Tears is a joint venture between John Wurdeman and Gela Patalishvili. Since 2007, they take care of their grapes with very low intervention, using wild yeasts during vinification to best showcase the Kakheti terroir. The name 'Pheasant's Tears' comes from an old Georgian tale claiming that only the best wine could make a pheasant cry. 

100% Rkatsiteli from the village of Bodbiskhevi in Khaketi, direct pressed and fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel. Unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulphur.
