Marani Kondoli Vineyards Saperavi 2020

✓ I lager

Cellar for up to 10 years. Enjoy immediately or decant for up to an hour. Marani’s headquarters can be found deep in the belly of Georgia’s historic wine-making region, Kakheti, in the stunning Alazani River Valley. Marani have been producing the highest quality Georgian wine for over a century, combining innovation with a deep respect for Georgia’s ancient wine-making culture. The Saperavi is Georgia’s flagship grape - originating from the Kakheti region, it has now spread to other Eastern European regions and as far away as Australia. It is robust and powerful, perfect for long-term cellaring. The Saperavi that provided this red wine were grown on the finest tracts of Marani’s Kondoli vineyard, among a variety of other gorgeous native Georgian grapes. An intoxicating mixture of black fruits and spice emerges on the nose of this dry red, with notes of licorice and tobacco. This wine won gold at Mundusvini 2020, and it is easy to see why. Bold, sweet fruit flavours mingle seamlessly on the palate with soft tannins and notes of dark cherry and cassis. Enjoy now, or hold for a few years. It will pair well with a range of food - consider some gamey meats, roasted lamb, hard cheeses, or a Georgian dish.
