Chelti Saperavi Qvevri

Chelti Saperavi Qvevri is a premium dry red wine from the Kakheti region in Georgia. This wine is made from the Saperavi grape according to the traditional Georgian method in qvevri, underground clay pots. After harvest, the grapes ferment in the qvevri without any interference. The wine then ages for six months in the qvevri and twelve months in French oak barrels.

The wine has a deep dark red color. Aromas of ripe berries, plums, and tobacco dominate. On the palate, you experience flavors of black cherries, blackberries, and a hint of spices. The velvety texture and well-integrated tannins provide a pleasant finish. Chelti Saperavi Qvevri has a high aging potential, meaning it can improve further over the years.

This wine pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, such as steak and lamb chops. It also pairs well with hard cheeses and spicy dishes. For the best tasting experience, decant the wine and serve at a temperature of 16-18°C.
