Long-term Pre-arrival Items
Long Term Pre-arrival Definition: Ordering wine directly through us from our supplier partners in Europe in advance of the item’s physical arrival in the US.
Long Term Pre-arrival sales ensure you’re getting the best possible price and that you have also secured the product before it hits the normal retail supply chain. The lead time for Pre-arrival goods is generally 4–8 months, sometimes longer based on supply chain and the logistics of transporting goods overseas. The expectation, from our team, is to communicate to the customer the location of their purchase every step of the way.
This product is offered as a full case purchase option, minimum order quantities may be applicable. When available, multiple case options will be presented. If you are purchasing a Pre-Arrival item you must order a solid case.

Approachable orange wine that is an excellent introduction to the category. Made using the traditional Kakhetian Qvevri method. Wine is fermented and aged with grape skins for 6 months with minimal intervention. Smokey on the nose, with notes of apricot, bruised apple, and orange peel.
Rkatsiteli is an ancient white grape variety originating from Georgia, one of the world’s oldest winemaking regions. It has been cultivated for thousands of years and remains widely planted in Georgia, Eastern Europe, and even parts of the United States. Rkatsiteli thrives in cool to moderate climates, producing wines with high acidity and bright, fresh flavors.
What makes Rkatsiteli unique is its versatility and ability to excel in both modern and traditional winemaking styles. In conventional white wines, it offers flavors of green apple, pear, citrus, and floral notes, with crisp acidity and a mineral-driven finish. However, when made in the traditional Georgian qvevri (clay amphora) style, it undergoes extended skin contact, creating an amber wine with a rich, tannic structure and complex notes of dried fruit, honey, nuts, and spice.
Rkatsiteli pairs well with grilled fish, roasted poultry, and Georgian cuisine, making it a fascinating and food-friendly white wine.
