Pronounced: Saw-pear-ah-vee (An ancient red grape varietal)
Appearance: Density of colour almost unmatched by any other variety. Unusually the flesh of the berries can be coloured red giving its concentrated appearance of Ribena, (blackcurrant) cordial
Nose: Black forest cake, raspberry jam, and a hint of cedar
Palate: It tastes like it looks! Despite its great density the palate finishes with well-balanced acidity making the wine very morish.
Drink: Drink this wine at cellar temperature at around 12 -15C. This wine has cellaring potential possibly forever and is a great drink now!

Indigenous to the region of Georgia, Saperavi is an ancient red grape varietal that is believed to originate from the Kakheti region which has a history of producing wine dating back centuries.
Where most red grape varietals have red skin and clear pulp, Saperavi is a teinturier grape, one of the rare varietals with red skin as well as the pulp. Saperavi means “dye” or “paint” in Georgian, the deep purple colouring of the fruit also producing an intensely dark, inky wine.
High in acidity and tannins, Saperavi has great aging potential and is perfect to cellar. Flavour profile is often described as beetroot, blackberry, plum, earth, liquorice, chocolate and tobacco.
Best food match, rich, hearty casserole, steak or lamb.
