Teliani Valley Glekhuri Kisiskhevi Saperavi Qvevri 2019

The deep dark-coloured Saperavi grapes are grown in the famous wine village of Khashmi in Kakheti/Georgia. This red wine is produced using the traditional Georgian method, in which the whole grapes are fermented in a qvevri. This is the name given to the large clay amphorae that are buried in the ground and lined with wax. Historically, this is the oldest form of wine production in the world. The dark garnet-red wine is complex and concentrated with strong flavours of black cherries and blackberries. It has a full body and a velvety long finish with lingering notes of ripe fruit and a hint of minerality.
