Karalashvili 1396 - Saperavi Qvevri Red Dry

Origin: Produced in Kakheti, Georgia, by Karalashvili Winery, which has a history of winemaking that dates back to 1396. The Karalashvili family is known for their deep-rooted traditions and innovative approaches to winemaking, making their Saperavi Qvevri a true representation of Georgian heritage.

Grape Variety: 100% Saperavi, a bold and dark-skinned grape, famous for its full-bodied wines.

Taste Profile: Color: Deep ruby red Aroma: Intense notes of blackberries, plums, and a hint of spices and earthiness. Taste: Bold and full-bodied with well-rounded tannins, offering flavors of ripe dark fruits, smoky undertones, and a long, complex finish.

Craftsmanship: The qvevri method involves fermenting and aging the wine in large clay vessels buried underground, allowing for a natural, slow maturation. This process enhances the rich, earthy characteristics of the Saperavi grape and integrates the flavors beautifully.

Serving Suggestions: Best served at 16-18°C, this wine pairs excellently with grilled meats, aged cheeses, and rich stews.
