The wine region of Akhasheni
Georgian appellation of the Gurjaani district in Kakheti (east of the country, distinguished since 1958), vinified in a signature semi-sweet style from exclusive Saperavi (3-5% residual sugar). Deep garnet-red with velvety texture: opulent and jammy with notes of ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, cocoa, and a balsamic spice touch — sweetness balanced by Saperavi's natural acidity. A historic expression of the Alazani Valley, ideal with chocolate desserts.
The wine region of Kakheti
Cradle of amber and orange wines, vinified in qvevri (buried clay jars, UNESCO). Skin-macerated Rkatsiteli whites: signature notes of dried apricot, walnut, honey, orange peel and black tea, fine tannins and controlled oxidation. Deep, tinctorial Saperavi reds with black fruit, plum, spice and firm tannins, age-worthy. Also Mtsvane and Kisi in white, fresh and floral.
The word of the wine: Over-ripeness
Characteristic of grapes harvested late, rich in sugar, which give wines often mellow and marked by candied aromas.
