2020 Saperavi Classical, Vachnadziani Winery
Kakheti, Georgia
The Kakheti Black Silk Red
This is Georgian red wine with depth, polish and a dark-fruited pulse. Made from Saperavi grown in Kakheti, it opens with wild berries, blackberry, plum and cassis, before spice, toast, black pepper, smoke and earthy undertones begin to appear. It is deep in colour and generous in flavour, but there is a lovely elegance beneath the richness.
The palate is balanced, juicy and smooth, with ripe black fruit, plum, smoky spice and refined tannins leading into a pure, elegant finish. It has enough weight for winter cooking, but enough freshness to keep the glass lively and inviting.
For when you want a Georgian red with history, darkness and quiet sophistication.
Pairs with grilled lamb, beef stew, pork chops, mushroom khinkali, smoky aubergine, hard cheeses, or anything with garlic, herbs and char.
If this wine were… a fabric, it would be black silk laid over warm Kakheti stone, rich, smooth and catching a red glint in the light.
