Varietal
Saperavi
Saperavi is a red grape varietal native to Georgia, known for producing deeply colored and full-bodied wines. Its name translates to “dye” in Georgian, reflecting the grape’s intense pigmentation. Saperavi wines exhibit rich flavors of blackberries, cherries, and plums, with notes of licorice, smoke, and spices. The grape’s high acidity and tannins make these wines suitable for aging, allowing complex secondary aromas and flavors to develop over time. Saperavi is often used to make both dry and semi-sweet wines, showcasing its versatility. It pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. As a symbol of Georgian winemaking heritage, Saperavi continues to gain recognition worldwide for its bold and distinctive character.
