WINEMAKER NOTES

Following hand-harvest and crushing, grapes were fermented on skins for one month in qvevri. Aging and stabilization in stainless steel followed for a full year prior to release.

VINEYARD NOTES

The vineyard is located in the Sighnaghi region of Kakheti in the famed Alazani river valley. Grapes are grown organically at an altitude of 400-500m (1300-1650ft) on black carbonate soils using organic viticulture practices.

Saperavi (‘saw-per-ah-vee’) is Georgia’s most widely-planted red grape and is an ancient indigenous variety. One of the few teinturier (red skin and flesh) varieties, it is blessed with both high tannin and acidity, and is used to make a wide range of (generally deep dark) red wines. Fresh berry and plum aromas are common, along with smoke and woodsy spice.
