The ancient Saperavi grape produces dark, full-bodied, and complex wines. Deep red color wine with dark purple tones, made in Qvevri, traditional ancient technology. Grapes are stomped and put into egg-shaped clay pots called qvevri, which are then buried in the ground or kept in cellars. The clay provides natural temperature control and a little oxygen exposure, all of which makes for some truly dynamic wine, unlike anything you may have tasted. Qvevri wine-making isn't the type of thing that can be mass-produced, which makes each wine in this style unique.
Intense aromas of fresh ripe red fruits. The palate is soft and juicy with a minty noted finish on sweet spices and young tannins.
