A distinctive dry qvevri red wine from Georgia’s renowned Kakheti region, Saperavi Vine Ponto 2017 is made from 100% Saperavi grapes and crafted using traditional Georgian winemaking methods.
 
Deep dark pomegranate in colour, this wine opens with expressive aromas of spice and violet. On the palate, it is rich and characterful, with dominant flavours of blackcurrant and prune, followed by a long, lingering finish.
 
Made from hand-picked Saperavi grapes harvested in the second decade of September, the wine is gently de-stemmed before being transferred into traditional qvevri for fermentation. During fermentation, cap management is carried out by hand punching only. After one month of maceration, the wine is decanted and then kept in qvevri for a further five months, developing depth, structure and a beautifully authentic qvevri character.
 
A bold and expressive Georgian red, Saperavi Vine Ponto 2017 is ideal for those who enjoy dry, full-bodied wines with dark fruit, spice, earthy depth and traditional winemaking heritage.
