Not red nor rose; can be drank chilled or not. Tsitska brings acidity and minerality, Otskhanuri brings character and a bit of tannin and displays an aspect of aroma not typically encountered with Otskhanuri. Light, fruity but complex and resonant. A blend conceived of by Amiran and Stetson, named for Stetson's daughter Charlie (Chuck) and Amiran's grandson Gabriel (Gabi).
