Description
Papari Valley 3 Qvevri Terraces Saperavi 2020 is a unique Georgian red wine made from the indigenous Saperavi grape, which is fermented and aged in traditional qvevri vessels buried underground. This wine is a true expression of Georgia's rich winemaking heritage and Papari Valley's dedication to producing wines that are true to their roots.
On the nose, this wine is bursting with aromas of dark berries, cherries, and plum, with subtle hints of earthy notes and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant. The tannins are firm yet smooth, with a refreshing acidity that balances the richness of the fruit. The finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of minerality.
The grapes for this wine are grown in three terraced vineyards located at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level in the Alazani Valley, Kakheti region. The wine is fermented and aged in 3 qvevris, each with a capacity of 800 liters. The wine is unfiltered and unfined, allowing it to retain its natural flavors and aromas.
This is a wine that pairs perfectly with traditional Georgian dishes such as khinkali and khachapuri, as well as hearty meat dishes and strong cheeses. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or new to the world of Georgian wines, Papari Valley 3 Qvevri Terraces Saperavi 2020 is a must-try.
