Tbilvino Saperavi Special Reserve
This specially selected Saperavi is only made in limited quantities in the best vintages and from the very best vineyards sites in Kakheti. Small parcels of top quality fruit have been picked by hand for this dark crimson wine. It was aged in French oak for 12 months to add depth and complexity and mellow the tannins. On the nose it has plenty of dark damson fruit, liquorice and smoky oak notes. In the mouth it is a big concentrated wine with good fruit and structure, though with nicely balanced moderate alcohol. It’s starting to develop notes of coffee and cedar but could also be kept for another year or two. Drink it with venison, rich beef stews and oven baked pasta.
