This is a bottle of Prince Golitsyn's Seventh Heaven, from the Massandra
Winery. Originally designed by Prince Golitsyn who helped established the
Massandra Winery for Tsar Nicholas II, the method for making this wine was lost
for some time, before modern research rediscovered how to make this wine again.
Made from a blend of Kokour White (a local name for Rkatiseli) and White and
Rose Muscats, this fortified wine is aged in oak barrels for 2 years. This wine
was amber with pink tints, with a sweet raisiny nose and a sweet vine fruit
palate with orange notes. An acid sweet backbone provided good support to the
finish.
