Kisi

The white grape variety originates from Georgia. Synonyms are Dampala, Kissi and Maghranuli. The parentage is unknown. The medium-ripening vine is very sensitive to climate. It yields white wines with aromas of dried apples, pears and mint. The variety is grown in the Kakheti region in the east of the country and is mostly blended with other local varieties such as Mtsvane Kakhuri or Rkatsiteli. It is also used for wines produced according to the traditional Kakhetian method. In 2016, 26 hectares of vines were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
