The wine region of Kindzmarauli
PDO of Kakheti in eastern Georgia, in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus. Saperavi as sole grape (native teinturier), naturally semi-sweet signature style with signature notes of ripe black cherry, candied blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, black-fruit jam and a spicy touch, robe almost black, velvety, rich palate at 3-5% sugars balanced by 5-7 g/L acidity — historic favourite. Poor, stony soils bring tension. Generous red.
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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
