Kisi is a white grape variety that is indigenous to the Kakheti region, and grows in the Eastern part of Georgia. It is scientifically a hybrid of Mtsvane and Rkatsiteli. Kisi is a late-budding variety, and is relatively resistant to frost, drought, and downy mildew. It is susceptible to powdery mildew and black rot. Kisi generally produces a small yield and ripens in the last two weeks of September. It produces high-quality, classical (International), and traditional (qvevri) wines. When produced in the classical style, it produces floral flavors of pear, citrus and green tea. When produced in the Kakhetian style, the wine exhibits more apricot, mango, lime, orange, and walnut characters.

Classic style Kisi wines are light yellow-coloured and become gold as they age, traditional Kisi wine, on the other hand, has a deep gold colour and becomes orange as it ages.
