Notes - This dry red is made from 100% Saperavi. This wine has been specifically made for the European market and is slightly more complex than the more traditional Saperavi. A touch of oak maturation and full malo-lactic fermentation gives the wine added complexity and flavour. The wine is deep purple when young and has the ability to age slowly maintaining the purple hues into its 4th and 5th years while developing a soft burgundy tone. The nose exhibits rich fruit characters reminiscent of blackberry and blackcurrant but also has touches of subtle oak maturation to balance the richness of fruit. The palate is rich with ripe berry flavours. The tannins are soft aand the wine is well balanced. The finish is soft but full with rich, ripe fruit and gentle oak characters which soften the richness of the palate.
