KONCHO SAPERAVI 2022 Kindzmarauli, Kakheti |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
UNITED STARS |
Made from the Saperavi grape which is indigenous to Georgia and is the country’s most planted red grape variety. Fairly deep purple-red colour, it has an attractive, slightly floral, spicy, ripe, plumy-black-cherry purée nose with a touch of cedar. Dry, medium bodied, attractive, ripe, blueberry-plum-raspberry flavours with a lingering, slightly cedary, harmonious finish. A real ready-to-drink crowd-pleaser, it was matured for 12 months in oak. Referred to as a Barolo on a budget, it is terrific with Italian tomato-based dishes. The best shipment to date, it has 12.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number 30112023 on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: This wine is made from 100% Saperavi: a late-ripening grape and one of the few whose pulp and flesh, as well as its skin, are red. Matured 12 months in oak, it's balanced, tangy and spicy, with red and black fruit. Try it with a hearty stew. |
