Saperavi: delicious wine from sunny Georgia.



For generations, Georgia has taken pride in its distinction as the birthplace of wine. It is believed by many archeologists that Georgia is source of world’s first agriculture grapevine and Neolithic wine production. The recent discovery of 8,000 year-old grape seeds and remains of vines sealed inside ancient clay vessels only reinforces Georgia’s position as the world’s cradle of viticulture and world’s longest unbroken tradition of winemaking.



Grapes are hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity. Soft de-stemming and crushing is followed by fermentation at controlled temperature (23-28 °C) in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains. Color and body extraction is managed by délestage and remontage. After 8-10 days of maceration, the wine is racked clean, transferred for malolactic fermentation and aged in stainless steel tanks. Small part of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 3-4 month, to add wine extra dimensions and complexity derived from fine oak.
