Dark and brooding with intense earthiness. This saperavi was aged for 8 years buried in the earth right outside the church. Take a sip, close your eyes, and you will feel transported to another time and place.

This Saperavi is textured, dense, complex, velvety, chewy, and rich without being alcoholic. An intense berry flavor accompanied by a strong woodsy/cedar note is a typical profile. This example displays a certain freshness and liveliness with a balanced, harmonious flavor.

After four days on the skins, the wine is pressed off and finished primary fermentation in tanks before undergoing secondary malolactic fermentation at about 78-79°F. Warm ferments help produce a fleshier character to the final wines.

Red Medium Sweet - Light berry color with a dominant flavor of plums and sweet and dry grape juice

From Dave McIntyre at the Washington Post Rich and intense, this smoky, beefy red benefits from decanting several hours in advance of dinner – and it’s pretty darn good the day after opening, too, when it takes on a silky texture. Jakeli shows saperavi’s potential as a top-tier wine.

Flavors of black cherry and ripe fruits are present in the bouquet, harmonious taste with a pleasant astringency and prune tones. Saperavi grapes carry the most unique and recognizable properties of Georgia’s viticulture.

It has a deep garnet color and a round, velvety, intense taste with blackberry and raspberry tones. The wine is exceptionally enjoyable with desserts and fruits, and leaves a long lasting, pleasant aftertaste.
