Per Annum Wine Company Prima Machinam Rkatsiteli 750 ML is a small-batch, artisanal white wine built around the ancient Georgian grape Rkatsiteli, grown by hand and vinified with care. Prima Machinam — Latin for “the first crush” — marks the inaugural wine from the producer’s first vintage, and only a minimal quantity (two barrels) was made, giving it a distinctly boutique character.
In the glass it typically presents a pale straw hue with crisp, refreshing acidity and a light to medium body. Expect subtle notes of citrus, green apple, and pear framed by mineral and herbal nuances that reflect Rkatsiteli’s distinctive profile — dry and vibrant rather than over-ripe or heavy. While less common on American shelves, this expression captures both the historic roots of the grape and a modern, drinkable style that pairs beautifully with seafood, light pasta, or fresh cheeses.
