Teliani Valley Glekhuri Kisiskhevi Saperavi Qvevri 2019

The deep dark-coloured Saperavi grapes are grown in the wine village of Kisiskhevi in Kakheti/Georgia. This red wine is produced using the traditional Georgian method, in which the whole grapes are fermented in 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 almost opaque, dark garnet-red wine is complex and cool with juicy aromas of black cherries, blackcurrants and blackberries. On the palate, it is mouth-filling and at the same time polished, elegant, fresh and lively, with a distinctive, lining tannin.
