This beautiful Dakishvili Family Selection Saperavi wine is made from the red (teinturier) grape of the same name, a very old grape variety from Georgia. The grapes are grown in the village of Zhaluri in the region of Akhmeta (in Kakheti) on a very old vineyard of the renowned Dakishvili winemakers family (founded in 1930).
The wine is produced in a traditional Kakhetian method, which means that fermentation of the grapes takes place over a period of 6 months in a Qvevri without the addition of yeast. This wine is bottled without filtration.
It has a beautiful ruby red color to enjoy before you take the first sip. The aromas include coffee, blackberries, and black currants. The tannins are elegant for a young wine, and the taste lingers for a long time.
This wine will pair perfectly with grilled meat and game dishes where a tasty sauce is present. A tasty (salty) cheese will also complement this wine beautifully.
