Origin:
Crafted in the historic Kakheti region of Georgia, Bekauri Family Vineyards presents its Saperavi Qvevri, a wine that pays homage to ancient Georgian winemaking traditions. This wine is fermented and aged in qvevris, clay vessels buried underground, allowing the Saperavi grape to develop a unique complexity and depth, while reflecting the mineral-rich terroir of Kakheti.

Grape Variety:
100% Saperavi, a native Georgian grape known for its intense color, bold flavors, and remarkable aging potential.

Taste Profile

• Color: Deep, dark ruby with a slight purple hue, showcasing the characteristic richness of Saperavi.
• Aroma: Aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, complemented by earthy, herbal notes, and subtle hints of smoke and spice from the qvevri aging process.
• Taste: Full-bodied and robust, with rich flavors of black fruits, a velvety tannin structure, and well-balanced acidity. The wine’s earthy minerality and complex finish reflect its time spent in the qvevri, offering a long, lingering aftertaste with a slight smokiness.

Craftsmanship:

This wine is made using the traditional qvevri method, where the Saperavi grapes ferment and age in large clay vessels buried underground. This ancient technique enhances the wine’s complexity, giving it a distinctive mineral character and allowing the natural tannins and fruit flavors to come together harmoniously.

Serving Suggestions:

Best served at 16-18°C. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, aged cheeses, or dishes with rich, savory sauces.
