Mildiani Saperavi „Qvevri” 2021 (0,75 L)

Made of Georgia's emblematic blue grape variety, the “Saperavi”, this full-bodied, formidable red wine is also produced via the "Qvevri" method of the region’s old age traditions. The thicker skinned grape variety and the ageing method produced a wine with more intense colour nuances, with sharp reflections of purple violet, mixed with deeper ruby hues. The 6 month maturation in a Qvevri is thus already evident in the appearance. When poured into the glass, it has a very rich nose of perfectly ripe red and black fleshy fruits, oriental spices and earthy notes. The palate has an almost soft texture, led by concentrated aromatics. The flavours are dominated by cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, dark chocolate, brandied cherries and an exciting spiciness. The almost sweet tannin, which pleasantly lingers on in the mouth, is complemented with softer acidity, but its freshness and dynamic feel is harmoniously kept in the persistent finish.

We recommend this wine with beef steaks, big game served with wild mushrooms and fruit.

Recommended temperature for consumption: 16-18 °C
