After falling into disrepair during the Soviet years, it has been revitalised with major investment, blending ancient Georgian winemaking traditions with modern techniques. The estate spans over 1,000 hectares across Kakheti and western Georgia, cultivating 25 grape varieties, most of them indigenous. Their mission is to preserve Georgia’s 8,000-year-old wine culture while producing wines of freshness, depth, and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Saperavi from vineyards at 320m altitude in Kakheti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClay and loamy soils with cover grass and organic mineral fertilisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-harvested at optimal ripeness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve purity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalolactic conversion for a softer, rounded palate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnoaked to highlight the grape’s natural vibrancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kakheti, Georgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-bodied red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOak Ageing:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (unoaked)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agglomerated Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan\/Vegetarian:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now or within 3–5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaperavi is a grape like no other – dark-skinned and pink-fleshed, with natural vibrancy and structure.
