Vachnadziani Winery, Kakheti, Saperavi NV
Georgia is considered to be the ‘cradle of wine’, as 8,000 year-old indigenous Rkatsiteli grape seeds have been found in clay vessels. Located in Kakheti, the most important wine region in Georgia in quality, quantity and history, Vachnadziani was established in 1953 and is one of the oldest wineries in Georgia.
Saperavi is an indigenous dark skinned, pink fleshed Georgian variety. Saperavi translates as ‘dye’ which is apt for this grape which produces richly coloured wines with marked acidity. The grapes were hand-harvested at optimal maturity. This is a warm and spicy red, offering vibrant aromas of wild berries and red plum. On the palate this is smooth, with soft tannins, characteristic balancing acidity and an attractive hint of spice on the finish.

A classically made orange wine with aromas of raw honey, walnuts and apricots which follow through onto the palate. A full bodied wine that’s quite versatile on the table but will stand up well with roasted chicken or even, duck and quail.
