Teliani Valley Georgia Gorgeous Red Saperavi, Kakheti
A modern Saperavi with depth and suppleness: ripe cherry, a subtle hint of red chili pepper, spicy tension, and a long, velvety finish. Why is Saperavi so beloved in Georgia? It's an indigenous grape with dark-colored juice and a firm skin, which naturally imparts intensity, color, and a natural backbone without becoming harsh.
Vineyards and region
Kakheti, located in eastern Georgia, is the heart of Georgia's winemaking region. The vineyards are situated at altitudes between 400 and 700 meters, with a temperate climate and cool nights. Sandy and calcareous clay dominate the soils, ideal for Saperavi, which develops full aromas while retaining fresh acidity.
Vinification and maturation
The wine is deliberately vinified in a modern way, focusing on pure fruit, ripe tannins, and just the right amount of extraction for structure without harshness. The result is a medium body with plenty of juiciness and a clear, lingering finish.
Grape composition
Saperavi, 100 percent from Kakheti. This grape produces dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and a supple, ripe tannin structure that remains highly enjoyable.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Deep ruby red with aromas of ripe cherries, red chili pepper, and spices. The palate is medium-full, smooth, and perfectly balanced, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a long finish. Serve at 12 to 14 degrees Celsius with steak, spicy Asian dishes, or hard cheeses.
