Saperavi
Deeply coloured, powerful reds with inky robe (teinturier grape with red flesh) and tight tannins, with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, spices, leather and balsamic notes. High acidity and fine ageing potential. Often made by the ancestral qvevri method (buried clay jar), it signs the great Georgian reds of Kakheti (Mukuzani, Kvareli, Napareuli). Also in Russia, Ukraine and Australia. Ancient Georgian variety.
