Rkatsiteli
Rkatsiteli
(Pronounced "ar-kat-si-TEL-lee") is a kind of
wine
grape
used to produce
white wines
. Prior to the fall of the
Soviet Union
it was very popular in the
Russian
republic
. It was often grown in other republics and exported to the Russian republic without sufficient compensation to warrant its continued production when market forces were imposed. Widely grown in eastern
Europe
, this ancient
vinifera
reputedly originated in the
Caucasus Mountains
bordering
Armenia
and
Turkey
. It is also planted on small acreages 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
Gewrztraminer
and
Johannisberg
Riesling
blend.
