Beka produces sparkling wines every year but never the same wine every year. Each harvest offers new opportunities and challenges, responding to the grapes rather than making them behave is the name of the game. The grapes selected and style vary from vintage to vintage. In 2021 Beka opted to use a strong Kakhetian variety to make his most delicate sparkling wine. Mtsvivani is a rare grape that hails from the eastern region of Kakheti where the strongest amber wines are made. He was very delicate with the grapes to preserve their fruit and subtle perfume. Bright and frothy with flavors and pear and lanolin.
