Light, fresh reds with a clear ruby hue, rounded tannins and an elegant palate, with delicate aromas of red fruits (raspberry, cherry), soft spices, garrigue herbs and floral notes. Airy profile adding freshness to warm Rhône blends. Traditional component of Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC (one of 13 authorised varieties) and Côtes du Rhône AOC. Rare native French variety from the southern Rhône Valley, a witness to Rhodanian heritage.
Historic cradle of the vine (8,000 years, UNESCO), 500+ native grapes. Signature Saperavi as a teinturier red: dense, deep reds with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice, leather, spices and a smoky touch, firm tannins and lively acidity - great ageing. Rkatsiteli in white (~45%), lively and structured (citrus, apricot, honey). The millennia-old qvevri tradition (buried jars): "ambers" on skins with notes of dried fruits, walnut, black tea.
