Château Mukhrani Saperavi is a refined, organic red wine from Georgia, produced by the prestigious Château Mukhrani winery. This wine is made from the indigenous Saperavi grape, known for its deep color, full body, and pronounced fruitiness. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and processed with respect for tradition, making this wine an excellent expression of Georgian wine culture.
Grape Variety and Vinification
Saperavi is an authentic Georgian grape variety with an intensely fruity and powerful structure. The grapes are hand-harvested at Château Mukhrani’s own vineyard to ensure the highest quality. The fermentation process includes pump-over, délestage, and punching down, techniques that help achieve optimal extraction of color and aromas. After careful malolactic fermentation, 20% of the blend is aged in a combination of French, American, and Caucasian oak barrels. This contributes to the wine’s complexity and balance without overpowering its characteristic fruitiness.
Tasting Profile
Château Mukhrani Saperavi has a deep ruby color with purple reflections. The bouquet is rich and intense, with aromas of black mulberry, blackberry, and cherry, complemented by subtle hints of soft oak and a touch of spices. The taste is full and powerful, with an excellent balance between fruity notes, velvety tannins, and a persistent, elegant finish. Due to natural aging, diamond-crystalline deposits may form in the bottle, which is a sign of the wine’s purity and high quality.
