Old Tbilisi
Saperavi is a grape variety reasonably unique to Georgia and will seldom
be found in any other wine making countries in the world. It is distinctive
in it's fullness flavour and colour along with it's smooth tannin finish.
Georgian Wines and Spirits search the whole of Georgia to find the best
Saperavi in the country that is then fermented at controlled temperatures
to maintain the freshness of fruit and flavour. The same family group harvests
the grapes from small family vineyards cared for over
generations. The family's are born into the growing of grapes and have
a strong appreciation for the necessity of low crops to maintain maximum
flavour and colour. The grapes were vinified at several wineries around
Georgia under the watchful eyes of the GWS winemaking team. After fermentation
and the natural stabilisation of the cold winter the wine was blended to
maintain the intense fruit present on the nose and palate. A touch of oak
maturation and full malo-lactic fermentation gives the wine added complexity
and flavour. The wine deep purple when young and has the ability to age
slowly maintaining the purple hues into it's 4 and 5 years while developing
a soft burgundy tone.
