A bold, native red with a vibrant soul.
This dry red wine is made from Otskhanuri Sapere, one of Georgia’s oldest and most characterful grape varieties. Grown in the II Sviri village of the Zestafoni municipality, in the heart of Imereti, the vines benefit from the region’s humid subtropical climate and clay-rich soils.
The qvevri vinification adds structure and purity to this naturally deep-colored red. Fermented and aged in traditional clay vessels, the wine is left unfiltered to express the full personality of the grape.
Otskhanuri Sapere wine opens with aromas of black plum, wild cherry, and blackberry, underlined by vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone. The palate is juicy and layered, making it a perfect companion to rich, flavorful foods, yet refreshing enough to enjoy on its own after a short decanting.
