Tchotiashvili Family Vineyards Saperavi
The Tchotiashvili Family Vineyards Saperavi reflects the rich heritage of Georgian winemaking. This wine comes from the fertile Alazani Valley in the Kakheti region and is made from the indigenous Saperavi grape. Kakha Tchotiashvili, a passionate winemaker, uses traditional techniques such as fermentation in Qvevri, underground clay pots. He creates pure and authentic wines without additives or chemicals. The grapes ferment with wild yeasts and are unfiltered before bottling. This process results in a wine with unparalleled depth and character.
The deep ruby color and complex aromas of blackberries, plums, and a hint of spices characterize the Tchotiashvili Saperavi. On the palate, it reveals rich flavors of ripe cherries and blackberries, combined with subtle earthy notes, chocolate, and tobacco. The texture is full and velvety, with firm tannins and lively acidity. This leads to a long-lasting and balanced finish. The wine is refined and versatile, suitable for various occasions.
This Saperavi pairs perfectly with grilled or braised red meats, such as lamb chops and ribeye beef. It also complements rich, spicy stews and hard cheeses. For the best tasting experience, decant the wine a few hours before serving to allow the complex flavors to fully develop. This wine offers an authentic taste of Georgian wine tradition and is a valuable addition to any wine collection.
