Winemaker Description

Mevushal. The color of wine - rich red with brown-brick reflections. A balanced taste of wine is dominated by smooth tannins, rich fruit tones accentuated.

The aroma of wine reveals a rich bouquet of colors of fruits and spices, complemented by nuances of black fruit, smoke and licorice.

Wine is served with dishes of Georgian cuisine, pork and beef, grilled sausages, aged cheeses, hearty appetizers and roasted duck.

The wine is made from Saperavi grapes harvested from certain plots, where green harvest was made at the beginning of August and the yield was artificially reduced by 2 times, which in turn made it possible to improve the quality indicators of the berries remaining on the vine.

At the end of September, the grapes are manually harvested and sorted, then carefully separated from the ridges and squeezed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine is first aged in cisterns, and then transferred to oak barrels for further maturation for 12 months.
